AFP Superintendent Peter Chwal said the sentencing outcome was significant as it was the first time an offender had been charged in Western Australia with aggravated child abuse offences.
"No one should be harassed or threatened at work and this arrest should send a strong message that the AFP is working tirelessly to identify and prosecute anyone who breaks the law by abusing others.”
The crash killed 42-year-old mother Nancy Lefrançois and her 11-year-old son Loïc Chevalier, who were travelling in a passenger vehicle struck in the collision.
