Student Says Sexual Relationship With Teacher Had Negative Effect On His Life

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Jun, 2018 12:16 PM

WINNIPEG — A young man told court that every step forward seems like three steps back during the sentencing hearing for a Winnipeg educational assistant found guilty of sexually exploiting the student.

Sheryl Dyck, who was 42 at the time, was arrested in 2015 after a seven-month relationship with the then 16-year-old.

Court heard that Dyck provided the teen with drugs and alcohol as their relationship progressed from hanging out outside of school to sex.

She was caught on surveillance video with the teenager buying alcohol during school hours.

Crown attorney Lee Turner says the man didn't realize he was a victim at first, and as that has sunk in it has had a negative effect on his life.

He is asking for five years behind bars, while defence lawyers are asking for the minimum sentence of one year.

Dyck is to be sentenced on Wednesday.
