Business owner Kyra Klassen facing charges in court in Regina

Business owner Kyra Klassen is scheduled to appear in a Regina courtroom on July 14, in connection with charges. A clerk with Regina provincial court confirmed that Klassen would appear that day but would not divulge the charges she is facing since this is her first appearance. However, previous research conducted by the Moose Jaw Independent has revealed Klassen may be facing two counts of voyeurism under section 161(1)(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

“I say, no comment,” Klassen said when the

Moose Jaw

Express asked about the allegations. When asked if she was concerned about them, she replied, “My lawyer is confident, and I will be suing back for defamation of character.”

When asked against whom she was taking legal action, Klassen replied, “I’m not saying names.”

It is unknown where the allegations against Klassen originated.

According to a Moose Jaw Crown prosecutor who spoke in generalities, charges against a person would be heard in the jurisdiction where the offence occurred. For example, someone caught speeding near Pense would appear in a Regina courtroom since Regina RCMP has a large coverage area.

If someone had charges in Moose Jaw and wanted them waived to Regina, the Crown would have to consent to that action. The only way for that to happen is if the person planned to plead guilty to the charge or charges. The allegations against Klassen have not been proven in court, while she is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
