A notorious Ontario sex offender has pleaded guilty to sex crimes in Kamloops.
Shawn Ahluwalia, 35, appeared briefly before a Supreme Court judge Friday, when Toronto defence lawyer Jospeph Bloomenfeld entered pleas on charges of sexual assault of an underage child and making or publishing child pornography. No plea was entered on a third charge of sexual interference of a person under 14.
The man was remanded in custody at KRCC and will be transferred for psychiatric assessment. He is expected to next appear in Kamloops court at an undetermined date this summer.
A former school teacher and caterer, Ahluwalia is currently serving time in Ontario for sex crimes committed against children. In 2010, he was sentenced to seven years in prison, but was given four years’ credit for pre-sentence custody.
The offences in Kamloops to which he pleaded guilty occurred between January and April 2006.
