Referee’s Peace Bond After Assault Allegations | Winnipeg News

A Winnipeg basketball referee, Michael Shane Maryk, faces serious restrictions after allegations of sexual assault and indecent acts dating back to 2010—charges now stayed but replaced with a strict one-year peace bond. He’s banned from contacting three accusers and their families, barred from any basketball officiating or coaching for 12 months, and risks new charges if he violates the terms. Two accusers delayed coming forward fearing career repercussions in the sport. The case was initially shrouded in secrecy until CBC successfully challenged the publication ban, bringing the details to light. Though no trial is imminent, Maryk’s life and career are under heavy judicial supervision.
