The government is asking the Court of Queen’s Bench to grant him Kelsey McKay’s home under the Seizure of Crime Act. McKay faces charges, including sexual assault, sexual assault and seduction, involving eight alumni he drove to a high school in Winnipeg. None of the charges have been proven in court and McKay has not yet filed an appeal. Provincial law allows the government to seize assets that are the product of a crime or have been used to commit a crime, even in certain cases where there is no criminal conviction. The director of foreclosures claims in a statement that McKay’s home was a key part of his alleged crimes, as it was a private place to pick up complainants. “The real estate served as a unique location to which defendant McKay had sole control and access,” the statement said. McKay has not yet responded to the allegation. No lawyer is mentioned in the court documents. The Manitoba government is selling confiscated assets and redistributing the money to crime prevention programs. Since 2009, about $ 20 million has been donated to entities such as police forces, Crime Stoppers and community nonprofits. McKay, 51, was arrested in April after five complainants allegedly sexually assaulted them while they were students and played football from 2004 to 2011. More charges were filed two weeks later, after three more complainants appeared.
