The Crown said Kyle Ronald Hameluck wasn’t eligible for a preliminary hearing. He pleaded not guilty this month to 61 charges.
Instead of having a preliminary hearing in provincial court, a Saskatoon man who pleaded not guilty to 61 charges including voyeurism, harassment, prowling and sexual assault is going straight to the trial stage at Court of King’s Bench.
She said the Crown expects to file an indictment — a list of the charges an accused person will stand trial on at King’s Bench — in the next week. The case will have to go through pretrial stages before a trial date is set.
Hameluck currently faces 40 counts of voyeurism, five counts of prowling, eight counts of sexual assault, one count of assault, two harassment offences, one count of intimidation, three counts of breaching probation conditions and one count of possessing stolen property.
Court records show the alleged offences happened between 2017 and 2024. Hameluck is accused of stalking, harassing and secretly recording women while prowling outside their homes.
He has served three prior voyeurism-related sentences, imposed in 2017, 2020 and 2022. Two of his sentences resulted in time served, and all of them included periods of probation.
He was sentenced to two and a half years in 2020 for recording 25 unsuspecting women in homes near the University of Saskatchewan in 2018 and 2019.
In 2017, he received time served and three years of probation for secretly recording women in their homes and masturbating in public, mostly in the City Park neighbourhood, in 2014 and 2015.
