Crown looks to have Sudbury man deemed a dangerous offender for a second time
A Sudbury man facing an indefinite sentence for crimes involving child sexual abuse material will soon hear the Crown’s application to have him considered a dangerous offender for the second time.
Michael Tomasik pleaded guilty March 20, 2025, to making child pornography (written), distribution of child pornography and breaching a supervision order. The crimes were committed while Tomasik was under a 10-year long-term supervision order, set to extend from 2020 to 2030.
Because of that, the Crown has taken steps to have Tomasik declared a dangerous offender a second time, and rather than a long-term supervision order, he could be facing an indefinite sentence in custody.
On March 30, Tomasik appeared virtually from Central North Corrections Centre before Justice Graham Jenner. His attorney, George Fournier, appeared in Sudbury alongside Crown Attorney Alana Jay and high-risk offenders Crown counsel Kenrick Abbott.
In January, Abbott filed with the court a pre-sentence report and psychiatric report, both of which were sealed by judges order. The March 30 court appearance saw the Crown file the “Attorney General’s consent and direction,” said Abbott, and request both a case conference with Jenner, Tomasik and all counsel, as well as set aside 10 days of hearings to hear the dangerous-offender application itself.
The Crown prosecution manual states the designation needs Auditor General approval and requires prosecutors to assess offenders who pose an ongoing risk to the safety of the public, i.e. are they likely to reoffend and would it cause real harm to the community.
After being declared a dangerous offender by a court, “the offender shall receive an indeterminate prison sentence, unless the court finds that a less severe measure will adequately protect the public.”
Tomasik pleaded guilty in 2025 after an agreed statement of facts was read in the record, stating Tomasik had violated his long-term order by possessing an “internet-accessing phone,” which was found to contain written claims involving the sexual abuse of children.
The statement of facts noted there is no independent evidence that Tomasik’s written claims of abuse against several children detail actual abuse he committed.
However, he did detail in writing the sexual abuse of a one-month-old girl, a five-year-old child and a three-year-old child. These claims were made in writing to a woman he connected with through an online dating site and with whom he tried to arrange an opportunity to abuse children together.
The woman’s identity is covered by a publication ban and she is not facing charges.
You can find the full story on the 2024 charges here. (This story also includes extremely graphic testimony about child sexual abuse that some readers may find disturbing or upsetting.)
Tomasik has a long history with the courts. It was in 2008 that Tomasik, then 27, was convicted of child luring and child pornography charges after he engaged in online conversations with a London, Ont., police officer who was posing as a 12-year-old girl.
Then in 2016, Tomasik was found guilty of trying to convince a sex worker to abduct a child so he could commit sexual assault. Instead, the sex worker strung him along until she had enough evidence from his text messages to alert police. Tomasik was also found guilty of child pornography charges at the time.
This conviction led to the dangerous offender designation in 2017.
Counsel, the judge and Tomasik will be back in court for the case conference on April 17 at 9 a.m. and 10 days in court for the application will be set, should they be required.
This creep should never see daylight again!
Calgary man arrested for alleged child sex offences, victims in Morinville, Red Deer
A 23-year-old Calgary man is facing 21 criminal charges related to child luring and sexual offences after three victims came forward to police.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit arrested Malik Buccini-Small on March 17 following an extensive investigation involving the Calgary Police Service, Red Deer RCMP and Morinville RCMP.
According to a March 24 press release, police said that all three cases alleged that the suspect lured young girls through social media apps and made threats or demands for sexual content. In one case, investigators say a victim called 911 because the victim felt threatened and in danger.
Victims have been identified in Morinville and Red Deer and range in age from seven to 15.
“Our priority is to protect children and help those that have been victimized. We have digital evidence that points to other victims and we are hoping they can come forward and share their information with police,” said Const. Mackenzie Jordan, with ALERT’s ICE unit.
Buccini-Small is believed to have used the usernames “iggypup” or “wakanda4ever”, and aliases “MJ” or “007".
At the time of his arrest, Buccini-Small was also coaching youth sports and working as an assistant coach with a girls hockey team in Calgary.
The charges stem from the three identified victims. Police said there is preliminary evidence suggesting there could be additional victims.
Buccini-Small has been charged with multiple offences including:
Buccini-Small is scheduled to appear in the Calgary Court of Justice on Thursday, March 26 for a bail hearing.
More to come.
