Manitoba Hockey Coach Sentenced to Six Years for Assaulting Teen Player

Biluk admitted to luring and sexually assaulting a teenage player who was under her coaching supervision. The case, which drew significant attention due to the breach of trust involved in youth sports, resulted in charges including sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and luring. Winnipeg police had previously announced that Biluk faced 15 offences in connection with the incident.
