Saskatoon Man Accused of Breaching Conditional Sentence After Voyeurism Conviction
A Saskatoon man who was sentenced last summer for secretly recording women and girls in private settings is now facing charges for allegedly breaching his conditional sentence order. Brian Kraft, 63, is accused of contacting one of his victims via email on March 3, which would violate the strict conditions imposed by the court.
Details of the Alleged Breach and Previous Offenses
According to court documents, Kraft pleaded guilty to four counts of voyeurism committed between 2018 and his arrest in 2023. During his sentencing hearing, it was revealed that he had recordings of 28 individuals, including both strangers and women he knew personally. Only four victims could be identified, likely because they were close acquaintances.
His crimes came to light in 2023 when a 14-year-old girl discovered Kraft recording her from under a change room stall. Investigations showed that he hid cameras in bathrooms and, on one occasion, concealed a camera in his shoe to record up a random woman's skirt in a store.
Sentencing Conditions and Potential Consequences
In July 2025, Kraft received a conditional sentence of two years less a day, to be served in the community under stringent supervision, followed by 12 months of probation. The terms included:
- Prohibition from contacting any victims
- 24-hour house arrest for the first 18 months
- Mandatory participation in sex offender and addictions programming
If convicted of breaching these conditions, a judge could order Kraft to serve the remainder of his sentence in custody. Currently, he remains out of custody, as confirmed by the court.
Background and Legal Proceedings
Kraft's defense lawyer previously attributed the offenses to a pornography addiction and extreme loneliness, which developed while he worked as a mine engineer from 2020 to 2022. In a pre-sentence report, Kraft described himself as lonely and bored, claiming he recorded women and girls for a cheap thrill but never watched or shared the footage.
Kraft appeared in Saskatoon provincial court on April 8, with his next scheduled appearance set for Thursday. The case highlights the ongoing legal challenges in monitoring offenders serving conditional sentences and ensuring victim safety.
