A previous charge against Devic of attempting to lure a child under the age of 16 was stayed.

His lawyer, Rishi Gill, previously argued photographs sent to Devic clearly showed an adult woman.

The Crown was asking for a one-year conditional sentence that Devic can serve in the community.

Devic was discharged from the RCMP earlier this year and he is no longer a member.
