The “Ryerson Spanker” has been slapped with a 16-month sentence for his bizarre fetish.
Whitney, 28, pleaded guilty Monday to sexually assaulting boys aged 15 to 17 whom he had met at a City Square church in March. Whitney lured them with promises of jobs reviewing video games.
“Without warning, they would pull the victim over their knee and spank them,” Crown attorney Suhail Akhtar said.
A psychiatric report indicated Whitney’s a risk to re-offend — noting four separate convictions — but recommended sex offender treatment atCity Square Correctional Institute and counselling once they have been released on probation.
In custody
Whitney has been in custody for 242 days since arrested March 13 and was sentenced to an additional 16 months by Justice Gail Dobney. He was also given three years probation.
The son of the former assistant deputy finance minister of Manitoba, Whitney was sentenced to 16 months in 1998 after they spanked a 15-year-old boy in City Square.
A year earlier, the former Ryerson journalism student pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault for slapping three male Ryerson students on the rump.
They admitted also he tried to spank a 19-year-old on April Fool’s Day 1997 and, later that month, spanked another student, telling him he was researching corporal punishment.
