Saskatoon sentencing in limbo after convicted sex offender didn't come to court

Eric Pohorecky was out of custody awaiting his sentencing hearing after being convicted of sexually touching an 11-year-old girl in 2020.

A Saskatoon man convicted of sexually touching an 11-year-old girl on three occasions in 2020 is nowhere to be found.

An arrest warrant was issued Friday when it was apparent that Eric Michael Pohorecky wasn’t coming to court for his sentencing hearing at Saskatoon Court of King’s Bench, Crown prosecutor Lana Morelli said.

In June, Pohorecky, 63, was found guilty of sexual assault and touching a child for a sexual purpose after a judge-alone trial. He was allowed to remain out of custody until his sentencing, despite the Crown arguing for his detention.
