A London, Ont. man, who pleaded guilty earlier this year in a harassment case, has been sentenced to two months in jail for criminal harassment of a Windsor, Ont. family.

When released from the South West Detention Centre, Pollock will be on probation for three years.

For the first year, he will be prohibited from using social media.

The defence asked for house arrest as Pollock is bipolar and struggles with ADHD. Court also learned Pollock has suffered numerous concussions.

It results, according to the defence, in Pollock acting impulsively, including his actions in June 2023.

Pollock drove from London to Windsor’s Hotel Dieu Grace Healthcare, where he snuck into Andre Leroux's room and took a selfie.

The image was posted to social media and discovered by Britt Leroux, Andre's daughter.

Britt Leroux and Pollock had a disagreement online over her support of drag queen story time events. Pollock was against it.

In sentencing Pollock, Justice Hornblower disputed that it was an impulsive act.

"This reflects planning and deliberation," he said.

He sentenced Pollock to jail time, in part because of Pollock's previous criminal record of posting an intimate image online without consent.
