Man Sentenced to 17 Years for Child Abuse in Saskatchewan Communities

  • Richard Dyke, a 48-year-old man from Assiniboia, received a 17-year sentence on May 21, 2025, in Moose Jaw Provincial Court for child sex crimes.
  • Dyke pleaded guilty to 10 charges related to sexual interference, making child pornography, and voyeurism involving 33 victims across five Saskatchewan communities over several decades.
  • The joint 17-year sentence resulted from defense and Crown agreement, with aggravating factors including multiple physical abuses, authority abuse, and use of hidden cameras to exploit children as young as 18 months.
  • Judge Brian Hendrickson described the sentence as severe yet fitting, emphasizing to Mr. Dyke the deep and lasting damage his offenses have inflicted, while also citing Supreme Court decisions that recognize the significant harm caused by such crimes against children.
  • Dyke must serve about 14.7 years after credit for time served, forfeit digital devices, register for life as a sex offender, and comply with lifetime restrictions on firearm ownership, contact with minors, and presence near places youth frequent.
