A Langford man has been sentenced to jail and probation after pleading guilty to sexual offences in two separate cases in the West Shore, including one involving a child at a school playground.

West Shore RCMP say 22-year-old Brodie Mollin was sentenced May 12 in B.C. provincial court following convictions in relation to incidents in 2025 in Langford and Colwood.

In the first case, police say a woman reported being followed inside a Langford retail store on April 19, 2025, by a man who exposed himself while recording her on a cellphone. Officers arrested Mollin shortly after the complaint.

He pleaded guilty to committing an indecent act in a public place and received a 90-day jail sentence.

In a second investigation, RCMP say a child at Eagle View Elementary School was approached in the schoolyard on Sept. 15, 2025, by a man who exposed himself and sexually touched the child. The child was able to leave the area safely and was not physically injured.

Mollin was arrested two days later and remained in custody until trial.

He pleaded guilty in October 2025 to sexual interference with a person under 16 and exposing genitals to a person under 16.

On May 12, the court imposed a 244-day sentence, with credit for pre-sentence custody. The effective global sentence is 20 months, to be served consecutively to the earlier 90-day jail term.

Upon release, Mollin will be subject to a three-year probation order prohibiting contact with anyone under 16.

The court also imposed a 10-year order prohibiting attendance at places where children are commonly present, a 10-year firearms prohibition, a DNA order, and 20 years on Canada’s National Sex Offender Registry.

Sgt. Kevin Shaw of the West Shore RCMP Serious Crime Unit says the investigation involved co-ordinated work across multiple units, including the Special Victims Unit, and emphasized a victim-centred approach focused on public safety and accountability.
