A 21-year-old woman has avoided jail time for her small part in the infamous 2011 Stanley Cup riot.
Sophie Laboissonniere - a McMath secondary grad and former Miss Congeniality in a beauty pageant - will also likely not have a criminal record after being given a conditional discharge Tuesday for participating in the riot, during which she looted a London Drugs store.
The non-custodial sentence includes 16 months of probation, 60 hours of community service, mandatory mental health treatment and a nightly curfew.
Judge Brian Bastin accepted defence lawyer David Baker's submission that Laboissonniere's history of anxiety and depression may have been a factor during the riot and that the intense global media coverage of her role in the riot will act as a deterrent to others.
