Summary
Bryan Hayward, a 37-year-old Hamilton man, has pleaded guilty to drugging and sexually assaulting two more women, adding to his already staggering record of seven prior victims — including those whose assaults were recorded and shared online. Facing additional charges in Alberta with a November trial looming, prosecutors are pushing for him to be labeled a dangerous offender, potentially locking him away indefinitely. His guilty plea halts the planned 17-day trial, but the disturbing details continue to unfold: one victim found videos of herself unconscious, confessing to a sexual fixation on sleeping people; another awoke to discover she’d missed her daughter’s pickup and was inundated with calls from family and police. Drugs capable of inducing unconsciousness and respiratory distress were found at Hayward’s mother’s home. With a 2015 case set for trial in Calgary and a dangerous offender hearing scheduled for next month in Hamilton, Hayward’s legal nightmare shows no sign of ending.
