Accused child sex offender released on bail despite new allegations in Okanagan
The allegations now span multiple incidents, multiple victims, and multiple years — yet the accused is back out in the community.
A B.C. judge has granted bail to a man accused of sexually assaulting multiple teenagers — even as new allegations against him continue to pile up.
According to a recent report out of Kelowna, 28-year-old Dylan Hartley-Gulliford is facing nine criminal charges involving four separate alleged victims across the Okanagan region, with accusations dating back to 2024.
The charges include multiple counts of sexual assault, sexual interference involving minors under 16, and even an allegation related to child sexual abuse material
Despite that, and despite being re-arrested as recently as February on new sexual assault allegations involving a different complainant, Hartley-Gulliford was released on bail last week.
This isn’t even his first release.
Court records show he had previously been arrested in January and released with conditions — only to face additional charges afterward, tied to separate alleged victims.
In total, the allegations now span multiple incidents, multiple victims, and multiple years — yet the accused is back out in the community. A publication ban prevents disclosure of what happened inside the bail hearing, including the judge’s reasoning for granting release.
The case is now set to return to court next month.
