Saskatoon, SK – A Saskatoon man with a long history of voyeurism and prowling offences has pleaded not guilty to a new series of charges related to alleged stalking and harassment earlier this year.
Kyle Hameluck, 35, appeared via video in Saskatoon provincial court this morning, where his lawyer entered pleas on his behalf. Hameluck faces over 35 charges, including voyeurism, intimidation, and criminal harassment. He has elected trial by judge alone at the Court of King's Bench. A date for the preliminary hearing has yet to be set.
New Allegations Amid Repeat Offences
The recent charges stem from incidents reported between January and March 2024. According to court documents, Hameluck is accused of intimidating and secretly observing several women in their homes or workplaces. He was arrested in March and has remained in custody since being denied bail earlier this month.
Hameluck’s legal troubles have drawn increased public attention, given his prior convictions for similar offences. In 2020, he pleaded guilty to 38 counts of voyeurism involving 25 victims. Those incidents occurred while he was already on probation for previous voyeurism and indecent assault charges dating back to 2017.
History of Offending
Hameluck’s criminal record includes a disturbing pattern of voyeuristic behaviour. In 2017, he was sentenced to time served and probation after admitting to recording women through their windows and engaging in indecent acts in public places. Despite probation conditions intended to curb his behaviour, he continued offending, leading to a two-and-a-half-year sentence in 2020.
During the 2020 sentencing, the court heard Hameluck had taken intimate photos and videos of unsuspecting women near the University of Saskatchewan, capturing them in vulnerable moments, such as while they were partially undressed or engaged in sexual activity.
Community Concerns
The new charges have sparked concerns among past victims and the broader community. The recurring nature of Hameluck’s offences has led to questions about the effectiveness of previous court orders and whether more stringent measures should be taken to protect the public.
Court officials have not yet set a date for Hameluck’s trial, but the case is expected to be closely watched given his history of reoffending and the serious nature of the new allegations. For now, Hameluck remains on remand, awaiting his next court appearance.
