What is the appropriate sentence for a family friend who sexually assaulted two young girls as young as seven years old?

In R v. Mehanmal, [2012] O. J. No. 5164, the offender pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two girls who were seven and eight years old. The assaults involved his fondling the children’s buttocks and vaginas and trying to kiss one complainant as well as an incident where he fondled one of the complainants as she was swimming. The offender was a 29 years old family friend of the complainants at the time of the offences, but was 54 years old at the time of the sentencing and had no criminal record. He was married with two children of his own. The girls suffered emotionally from the incidents, but did not report them until years later. The accused received a 12 month conditional sentence plus 12 months of probation. The court acknowledged that the paramount sentencing objectives were that of general deterrence and denunciation of the offences and found that the sexual assaults were extremely intrusive.
