Siobhan Kirby is that rarest of birds.
The 36-year-old is a female pedophile. And now, the British Columbia woman has been sentenced to six years in prison .
Kirby pleaded guilty to sexually abusing an autistic teenage girl in Abbotsford and then posting videos of her ravaging the victim on Pornhub. She pleaded guilty to three charges: Making child sex abuse material, sexual exploitation, and arranging a sexual offence against a child.
Ten other charges – including sexual assault and trafficking in a person under 18 – were stayed. Judge Daniel Loucks said the victim was a “particularly vulnerable young person” who trusted Kirby.
Viewed ‘hundreds of thousands of times’
The court heard that in December 2022, Kirby “encouraged and coerced” the teen to engage in sexual activity with her.
“There were numerous incidents of sexual abuse that spanned nearly a year. Many of the sexual acts were recorded on video,” Loucks said, adding the videos Kirby posted were viewed “hundreds of thousands of times.”
Court heard that on at least one occasion, Kirby pimped out the girl for sex with a drug dealer in exchange for drugs.
In her victim impact statement, the girl said: “I was a child who looked up to the offender as a trusted adult role model … That trust was violated in a way that has had serious and lasting consequences for me.”
Victim has extreme PTSD
The girl’s mother said her daughter is now receiving counselling but is experiencing complex post-traumatic stress, including flashbacks, nightmares, and difficulty sleeping.
According to her lawyer, Christopher Terepocki, Kirby engaged in “various occupations related to the sex industry” from around 2019 to 2023. She worked as an escort and created a Pornhub account to make money off her demonic desires.
Terepocki said his client began using methamphetamine daily in 2022, causing her to make poor decisions.
Kirby wasn’t in court and instead attended by video link. Her legal eagle said she is open to writing a letter of apology.
Formed a ‘trauma bond’
Court heard that for more than a year, Kirby groomed and exploited the victim. The girl was 16 at the time and was lonely and in desperate need of connection. As a result, she formed a “trauma bond” with her abuser.
Sometimes Kirby would force herself upon the girl for sex when her victim stridently claimed she wasn’t into it. Once, the girl was sexually assaulted as she slept.
Among the aggravating circumstances were “the highly explicit nature of the child pornography” and the fact that the victim’s face is “clearly distinguishable” in some of the videos. The videos have been taken down, however it was noted that the internet is forever.
Kirby’s sentence also includes for her to be registered for 20 years under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act.
