Repeat voyeur Hameluck facing new charges

- BRE MCADAM Postmedia News

A Saskatoon man with a history of secretly watching and recording women in intimate moments is back in custody, accused of voyeurism, stalking and harassment.

Kyle Ronald Hameluck, 35, made his first appearance on the new charges in Saskatoon provincial court on Monday. He appeared again on Tuesday, and is scheduled to have a bail hearing on Thursday.

Hameluck is charged with two counts of voyeurism, two counts of provoking fear by watching a woman where she lives or works “in order to impede her from doing anything that she has a lawful right to do,” and one count of knowingly harassing the same woman by watching her at her home or work and causing her to “fear for her safety.”

Court documents show the voyeurism charges stem from March 23. The stalking/harassment allegation­s are from Jan. 11, Feb. 28 and March 2. The informatio­ns (charges) were sworn on Monday.

In March 2022, Hameluck was sentenced to 290 days time served and 12 months of probation after pleading guilty to unlawfully being in a dwelling house on Aug. 14, 2021.

Court heard he was caught in his downstairs neighbour's suite, without explanatio­n, while she was in bed. At the time, he was on house arrest and wasn't allowed to leave his home without permission from his probation officer.

The house arrest was one of his probation conditions for secretly recording 25 women in 2018 and 2019.

In 2020, Hameluck received a two-and-a-half-year sentence after pleading guilty to 37 voyeurism charges. Court heard he was caught peering into windows of homes and off-campus residences near the University of Saskatchew­an between February 2018 and

March 2019. Police searched his phone and found 42 videos of 25 different women who were either partially undressed, naked or engaged in sexual activity.

He committed the offences while on a three-year probation order for recording women through their windows and masturbati­ng in public places, mostly in Saskatoon's City Park neighbourh­ood, in 2014 and 2015.

During his most recent sentencing hearing, Hameluck's lawyer said Hameluck now understand­s the harmfulnes­s of his crimes. Court previously heard that he believes his childhood sexual abuse contribute­d to his voyeuristi­c behaviour, for which he wants to get treatment.
