In court Crown attorney Lyndsay Jeanes described the general content of some of the images, which were horrific in nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeanes argued that Broadbent should serve three months in jail, in addition to three years probation. She said there were a number of aggravating factors, including the fact that sexual abuse of children was at the heart of the crime. There is also now a record of that abuse that allows that abuse to be shared, she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defense attorney Jeff Marshman told the court Broadbent struggled with an addiction to pornography for years and it spiralled out of control and he began to consume child pornography. He explained that Broadbent has no criminal record, and now has a therapist and is working towards bettering himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broadbent addressed the court and said he was acutely ashamed of his actions, and he wants to be a better person than he was yesterday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Robert Gattrell called the crime \u201cparticularly reprehensible.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt trivializes something that, in my opinion, is inherently evil,\u201d said the Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broadbent was sentenced to 90 days in jail, and three years probation, which included a number of limitations on what he will be allowed to access on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Correction:<\/em> An earlier version of this story stated that Broadbent appeared virtually from the Yukon, where he has relocated since the incident. He appeared at Bracebridge court in person.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former Huntsville man pleaded guilty in court earlier this week to accessing child pornography.
