In the result, Judge McArthur determined that the “extra supervision of the police is not required” and that Levin will not need to provide a user name and password to police when, under his wife Barbara Wiktorowicz’s continued supervision, he now will be allowed to video message his three grown daughters.

Between August of 2012 and July of 2013, Levin came to the attention of three different undercover police officers, from three different police forces, who prowled Internet websites devoted to themes of child sex abuse.

Levin’s online persona had involved his wife.

According to an agreed statement of facts read onto the record by prosecutor Allison Dellandrea, Levin had advertised himself in his online profile as a “couple,” claimed he and Ms. Wiktorowicz had been sexually active with their own girls when they were teenagers, and adopted as his user name “BandB”, presumably for “Ben and Barbara.”

He also provided real biographical details on his profile page, saying he was from Toronto, a university professor and he gave the real first names of his wife and their children.

There is no evidence Levin actually sexually abused his daughters or other children, Ms. Dellandrea told the judge, nor, after his arrest when police urged any victims to come forward, did any.

But Levin did send one undercover (UC) officer several images, including one of a child in a short skirt and a top covering only her breasts who was bound, hands behind her back, ankles in handcuffs, a gag in her mouth and a leash dangling down in front. The image showed an adult woman standing over the girl.
