Former Kamloops coach charged with sexual offences against youths

A Kamloops man, who formerly coached youth sports, is facing three charges of sexual offences with underage complainants.

The man cannot be named due to a court-ordered publication ban protecting the identity of victims under the age of 18 in connection with an offence committed by an adult.

Court documents state the man is charged with internet luring, sexual interference and sexual assault for offences that allegedly took place between 2017 and 2019.

It is not clear if the man’s position as a coach played a role in the alleged offences.

The man is no longer coaching youth sports.

His next court date is expected to be Nov. 12 to elect a mode of trial.
