"Quite frankly, Mr. Sorenson, there's no other words," Poirier LeBlanc said.

"I'm honestly shocked that this court sentenced you to 84 months and you were released at 22 months and a half. So one year, ten months, two weeks and one day is when you were released when this court sentenced you to a seven-year prison term."

In September 2023, the former petting zoo owner was sentenced to seven years in prison for 22 charges, including sexual assault, sexual exploitation, making child pornography, possessing child pornography, voyeurism and invitation to sexual touching.

The charges stemmed from events between 2008 and 2020 involving 17 underage boys, some of whom worked for his travelling petting zoo and others who worked for his landscaping company.

Police identified another 57 victims, but they chose not to participate in the investigation.

"Mr. Sorenson clearly groomed his victims," said Judge Scott Brittain at sentencing.
