An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to just under four years in jail after previously pleading guilty to four of the nine child porn charges with which he was originally charged.
Kyle Dieno, 31, pleaded guilty in Abbotsford provincial court in June to possession of child pornography, sexual interference, and two counts of distributing child porn. He was given 35 days’ credit for the time he spent in custody after his arrest.
The five other charges were stayed at sentencing: accessing child porn, making child porn, invitation to sexual touching, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16, and one more count of distributing child porn.

The investigation into Dieno began after the Abbotsford Police Department received information from the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre that an Abbotsford resident had accessed images of child sexual abuse.
A search warrant was then executed at Dieno’s residence, where police seized electronic devices, including computers, memory cards and a cellphone.
Dieno was arrested on Jan. 31 and was subsequently charged. Further investigation later resulted in additional charges.
