Stanley Dorie was convicted in Swift Current provincial court on Dec. 19. He was the Acting Deputy Director of the Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge — a minimum and medium security federal prison on the Nekaneet First Nation near Maple Creek — at the time of the assaults in March and December 2015.

Both victims testified Dorie was a friendly, well-liked guard who often gave hugs, joked around and complimented inmates. However, his flirtatious nature escalated into behaviour that was not only inappropriate, but non-consensual, they said.

The first woman said Dorie initially made her uncomfortable when he told her she had a “nice ass” after a drug search.

She testified he started showing up wherever she was in the prison and even acknowledged that another guard had pointed it out and “maybe I have to stop wanting to come and hang out or wanting to come and see where you are.”
