Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence official found guilty late last year of leaking secret information to police targets, will find out soon how long he’ll be behind bars.
A two-day sentencing hearing is set to begin this morning in Ottawa in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
After three days of deliberation, a 12-member jury found Ortis guilty on all six charges against him in November.
The Crown has suggested it will seek a sentence in the range of 20 years.
“For someone in Mr. Ortis’ position, nothing less than a very severe sentence would be appropriate,” Crown prosecutor Judy Kliewer told reporters after the guilty verdict.
