A man who has been previously convicted of sexually abusing children is back in Kelowna court after allegedly re-offending at an equestrian facility.
Dueck was arrested shortly after the incident at the equestrian facility and was charged with sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching in relation to a person under 16 years of age, as well as with breaching his probation order. He has remained in custody since his arrest after being denied bail on March 14.
BC United Party leader Kevin Falcon spoke at a press conference on Feb. 29, and asked why the public was not notified of Dueck’s release from prison. The minister said he has ordered an investigation into all provincial and federal agencies, including BC Corrections, that were involved in the decision to deny the RCMP’s request for a Public Interest Disclosure.
The Parole Board documents also indicate that Dueck had other allegations of sexual misbehaviour that did not result in charges, including kissing a five-year-old girl, groping a nine-year-old girl while playing hide-and-seek, and threatening to post sexually explicit photos online of a girl if she did not have sex with him.
