Overview
- Madison Biluk, 31, was taken into custody Monday after Judge Jerilee Ryle imposed a six-year federal sentence that matched a joint recommendation from the Crown and defence.
- Ryle found Biluk groomed a 15- to 16-year-old player between October 2019 and February 2021 through frequent personal messages and blurred boundaries, exploiting the girl’s mental-health history.
- In a statement to the court, the victim described severe fallout that included depression, anxiety, lost jobs, strained relationships, and two suicide attempts.
- The court ordered strict controls that include sex-offender registration, a DNA sample, no contact with the victim, bans on jobs that place her over minors, limits on internet use, a Snapchat ban, and a five-year bar from places children gather.
- An assessment rated her risk to reoffend as moderate to moderate-high in positions of trust, and prosecutors noted earlier warnings and probes in Manitoba and Alberta did not produce further charges.
