Kamloops RCMP issues public notification as sex offender set to be released under house arrest [Video]

RCMP in Kamloops, B.C., have released a public notification as a man with a history of sexual offences against children is set to be released on probation.

Taylor Dueck pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a person under 16 years of age at an equestrian facility in Kelowna, B.C., on Feb. 9, 2024.

Now, he is set to be released into house arrest in Kamloops, and RCMP are warning that the “dangerous sex offender” represents a serious risk to children under 16.

Following a prison sentence for the Kelowna assault, Dueck was ordered to be under 24/7 house arrest as part of a three-year probation period, and he will be on the sex offenders’ registry for life.

Police say that he is forbidden from being in any public areas — including parks, swimming pools, community centres and playgrounds — where kids under 16 are reasonably expected to be present.
