During sentencing arguments made at the Montreal courthouse before Quebec Court Judge Pierre Labelle, Rivard asked that Villemaire, a man who used to help students with learning disabilities, be sentenced to two years for distributing child pornography, 11 years for how he sexually abused the girl and five years for human trafficking. She also asked that the sentences be served consecutively and that other sentences for related offences be served concurrently.
