An eight-year prison sentence is being recommended for a Moose Jaw, Sask., man convicted of committing sexual offences against three young girls he was babysitting.

The children were 18 months old, four and five when Donald William Black, 49, took sexually explicit videos and photographs of them between May 2005 and January 2006.

Black pleaded guilty to one count of making child pornography and three counts of sexual exploitation.

He also pleaded guilty to two counts of inviting sexual touching and one count of possessing child pornography.

The eight-year sentence was a joint recommendation of the Crown and defence.

Donald Black is scheduled to be sentenced by provincial court Judge David Orr on Feb. 14.

Black and his wife Audrey Black, 35, were babysitting the children at the time of the abuse. Audrey Black had previously pleaded guilty to several charges and is awaiting sentencing.
