STEPHANIE REDLICK CRIMINAL COURT DATES

STEPHANIE REDLICK CRIMINAL COURT DATES

STEPHANIE REDLICK APPEARED IN CRIMINAL COURT AGAIN TODAY 

Stephanie Redlick has spent a great deal of time publicly smearing the names of others and falsely accusing people of being wanted by the police under specific criminal codes.

Today, however, it was Redlick once again on the criminal court docket.

In fact, Redlick had 2 sets of criminal charges before two separate Ontario criminal courts — Midland and Bradford.

Readers may recall that Redlick has already been the subject of multiple Animal Welfare Services charges under Ontario’s PAWS Act, the seizure of 16 horses, and a tribunal ruling ordering her to pay more than $116,000 in care costs for those animals.  Stephanie Redlick is currently facing 13 Animal Welfare Services charges in 2 different jurisdictions…

Today’s court appearances, however, relate to separate criminal allegations under the Criminal Code of Canada.

In all matters today, Redlick was represented by a paralegal appearing as agent for counsel acting under a Legal Aid certificate.

We know, you’re thinking “But she claimed in a recent 15 minute video interview wth Rebel News that she had NOT applied for legal aid”.

Court filings speak louder than her smear campaigns against those who speak out about her.

BRADFORD CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCE

As already mentioned, Stephanie Redlick is busy in Ontario’s criminal courts, with matters being addressed in two separate jurisdictions.

Today in Bradford, Redlick appeared in relation to several criminal matters.

The charges listed before the court are:

Uttering a Forged Document — Criminal Code s.368(1)

Possession of Property Obtained by Crime — Criminal Code s.354(1)

Forgery — Criminal Code s.366(1)

The Crown  confirmed that the case will move forward under the summary conviction provisions of the Criminal Code.

In plain terms, allegations involve claims related to forged documents and property obtained through crime.

When charges proceed this way, the maximum penalty is generally up to two years less a day in jail, along with possible fines, restitution, or probation.

Trial COURT DATES were set today for December 2 & 3, 2026.

Court 1.
57 Holland Street East
Bradford, Ontario
L3Z 1H8

The case has already been screened for a two-day trial.

REDLICK MUST APPEAR IN PERSON.

 

BARRIE/MIDLAND CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCE

Let’s NOT forget that Redlick is also facing charges in a Midland CRIMINAL case, which falls under the Barrie/Midland court jurisdiction.

As previously reported by CTV News, the allegations relate to a transaction involving cattle valued at more than $5,000. The victim is 80 years old and is reportedly out over $60,000.

The criminal charges Redlick is facing in Midland/Barrie are:

False Pretences Over $5,000 — Criminal Code s.362(1)(a)

Fraud Over $5,000 — Criminal Code s.380(1)(a)

Theft Over $5,000 — Criminal Code s.334(a)

Forgery — Criminal Code s.366(1)

In plain terms, the allegations involve claims that property worth more than $5,000 was obtained through deception, along with accusations involving fraud, theft, and forged documents.

These charges are moving forward by indictment, which means they are being treated as more serious criminal offences.

If someone is convicted of fraud over $5,000, the maximum penalty under the Criminal Code is up to 14 years in prison.

Other charges, like theft over $5,000 and forgery, can carry potential penalties of up to 10 years.

Redlick did not appear in person at today’s appearance, BUT she will be required to appear in person in criminal court on August 12 and August 14, 2026.

Those hearings are scheduled to take place at the Midland Courthouse, located at

605 Yonge Street,
Midland, Ontario.

Court typically begins at 9:00 a.m., though attendees may wish to arrive a little early as court schedules can change – we’ll update closer to the dates.

Will we see you there?

David Menzies of Rebel News will be there! 

REDLICK IS ALSO FACING 13 ANIMAL WELFARE CHARGES

Just in case you are new to this ‘situation’ we think it is also important to note that Redlick is also currently facing 13 unrelated Animal Welfare Services (AWS)  charges under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) Act – in 2 jurisdictions.  Details here.

BECAUSE PUBLIC AWARENESS MATTERS

With two separate criminal cases now moving through two CRIMINAL courts AND two separate unrelated sets of Animal Welfare charges moving through courts in two jurisdictions, we will continue to keep a close eye on each of the cases BUT  having said that…

Public accountability only works when people are willing to pay attention and share what they learn. If this information matters to you, please consider sharing it so others can stay informed as well.

As always, we remain committed to documenting the facts — not because we are picking on one person, but because…

If shining a light on these situations helps bring about improvements inlcuding to Animal Welfare Services in Ontario –  helps deter someone else from making the same choices in the future, then the effort is worthwhile.

HORSES SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Every year thousands of horses are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption, but you can help us ban horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including Japan.

This barbaric practice is currently not legal in the United States, so horses from the United States are shipped to Canada, and to Mexico, to be slaughtered.

In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air to Japan for slaughter, is far from humane.

BRADFORD CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCE

As already mentioned, Stephanie Redlick had a busy day in Ontario’s criminal courts, with matters being addressed in two separate jurisdictions.

In Bradford, Redlick appeared in relation to another criminal matter.

The charges listed before the court were:

Fraud Over $5,000 — Criminal Code s.380(1)(a)

Uttering a Forged Document — Criminal Code s.368(1)

Possession of Property Obtained by Crime — Criminal Code s.354(1)

Forgery — Criminal Code s.366(1)

During the court appearance on March 12, the Crown advised the court that Count 1 — Fraud Over $5,000 — would be withdrawn.

The Crown also confirmed that the case will move forward under the summary conviction provisions of the Criminal Code.

In plain terms, the remaining allegations involve claims related to forged documents and property obtained through crime.

When charges proceed this way, the maximum penalty is generally up to two years less a day in jail, along with possible fines, restitution, or probation.

The matter is scheduled to return to court on March 20 for Trial Scheduling Court, where the next steps in the case — including possible trial dates — will be determined.

The case has already been screened for a two-day trial.

Redlick is not expected to appear in person for that appearance, as it is primarily an administrative scheduling hearing.

We’ll update again before and after March 20th.

STEPHANIE REDLICK CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCES

STEPHANIE REDLICK CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCES

STEPHANIE REDLICK APPEARED IN 2 CRIMINAL COURTS TODAY 

For over a year, Stephanie Redlick — also known as Stephanie Alessia AKA Stephanie Kauffman — has publicly claimed she has a ‘hot shot legal team’ preparing legal action against those who speak out about the criminal charges that Redlick is facing.

Today, March 5, 2026 Redlick appeared in 2 criminal courts on 2 sets of criminal charges – in 2 jurisdictions – and in both courts her representation was paid for by legal aid.

We know, you’re thinking “But she claimed in a recent 15 minute video interview wth Rebel News that she had NOT applied for legal aid”.

Court filings speak louder than her smear campaigns against those who speak out about her.

BARRIE/MIDLAND CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCE

Redlick appeared virtually in Criminal Court in Barrie/Midland on allegations she stole more than $60,000 from an 80-year-old man.

As previously reported by CTV News, she is facing charges of fraud exceeding $26,000, theft over $5,000, making forged documents, and obtaining property by false pretences involving cattle valued at more than $5,000.

So, what happened today?

Redlick appeared virtually in the Barrie/Midland courtroom for a brief procedural appearance.

There were no dramatic moments and no final decisions made.

The Crown pre-trial had already taken place on February 11, and she has now elected to be tried by a judge – not a jury – in the Ontario Court of Justice.

The next court date is set for March 12 at 8:30 a.m., in the same courtroom.

That date is not the trial itself. It will likely be a short status appearance where the court checks that everything is moving forward properly and, if ready, begins setting actual trial dates.

BRADFORD CRIMINAL COURT APPEARANCE

Redlick was also represented by the same (legal aid) counsel when she appeared in Bradford Criminal Court today on a separate set of criminal charges.

In that matter, according to CTV NEWS Stephanie Redlick is charged with uttering a forged document, fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, and forgery, after allegedly using an altered cheque to defraud a Cookstown livestock auction house of more than $15,000 in March 2025.

So, what happened today?

It was a brief procedural appearance. There were no decisions made and no trial dates set.

A pre-trial is scheduled for March 10, 2026, and Redlick is set to return to the same courtroom on March 12, 2026, likely for a short update as the matter moves forward.

REDLICK IS ALSO FACING 13 ANIMAL WELFARE CHARGES

Just in case you are new to this ‘situation’ we think it is also important to note that Redlick is also currently facing 13 unrelated Animal Welfare Services (AWS)  charges under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) Act – in 2 jurisdictions.  Details here.

STEPHANIE REDLICK IN CRIMINAL COURT

STEPHANIE REDLICK IN CRIMINAL COURT

STEPHANIE REDLICK AKA STEPHANIE ALESSIA –  NO SHOW IN CRIMINAL COURT TODAY

For over a year, Stephanie Redlick — also known as Stephanie Alessia — has publicly claimed she has a ‘hot shot legal team’ preparing legal action against those who speak out.

Today, in criminal court on charges involving the alleged theft of over $60,000 from an 80-year-old man, the record showed Stephanie Redlick was represented by Legal Aid duty counsel.

We know, you’re thinking “But she claimed in a recent 15 minute video interview wth Rebel News that she had NOT applied for legal aid”.

Court filings speak louder than smear campaigns.

REDLICK SEEMS TO THINK THE RULES DON’T APPLY TO HER

The judge declined to send the matter to trial scheduling and instead set a return date of March 5th, requiring Ms. Redlick to attend — either in person or by video — or the bench warrant would be released and she would be arrested.

And importantly, for the first time in now over 10 appearances on these charges, the same judge is scheduled to preside again on the next date.

Until now, there has been little judicial continuity. Nearly every appearance has involved a different judge.

On March 5th, that changes.

COURT TRANSCRIPT

9:30 a.m. Docket – Midland Courtroom #2

Court: Is Stephanie Redlick present in the body of the court or on the video screen?

It appears the matter went over on the last date with a bench warrant with discretion.

Is counsel retained to assist Ms. Redlick?

Defence: Yes, Your Honour. The matter is ready to be placed into trial scheduling court.
Has the matter had a judicial pretrial?

Defence: I have not been instructed on that. I was told that if we could place the matter into trial scheduling court and request an adjournment to Thursday, March 5th, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. to set a trial date and place it on the record.

Court: It appears there has not been a Crown pretrial. A CPT would be needed before setting trial dates.

Madam Clerk, is there an election?

Clerk: The Crown has elected by indictment. The defence has not made their formal election yet.
Court: Are you in a position to make a formal election and file a notice of election? That would include whether you want a preliminary inquiry, an Ontario Court of Justice trial, a jury trial, or a Superior Court judge-alone trial.

Defence: I am not in a position to do so. I can make a note and advise counsel.

Court: We would not put the matter into scheduling court for the Ontario Court of Justice if you intended to proceed in Superior Court — unless you wanted a preliminary inquiry first. By this stage, you should know what mode of trial you want.

Court (to Crown): Has there been a Crown pretrial?

Crown: No, Your Honour.

Court: I see no indication that a judicial pretrial has been set. A judicial pretrial may be necessary, especially if the matter is heading toward a preliminary inquiry. It does not appear counsel has turned their minds to that issue — or if they have, they have not advised the court.

This is the matter of Stephanie Redlick.

Why don’t we bring it back on March 5th?

I will extend the bench warrant to March 5th, 2026.

I will be here that day, and I am requiring Ms. Stephanie Redlick to either attend in person or appear by video. If she does not attend, I will release the bench warrant and she will be arrested.

She must attend on Thursday, March 5th, 2026, in Midland Courtroom #2 at 9:30 a.m.

We need to know next week what mode of trial is being elected. I will not burden trial scheduling court at this time. It is not ready.

Defence: In the interim, counsel will reach out to resolution Crown to arrange a Crown pretrial and obtain trial estimates.

Court: Duly noted.

16 HORSES IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION SEIZED

In February 2025, Animal Welfare Services seized 16 horses owned by Stephanie Redlick (also known as Stephanie Alessia) from a property in Port Perry, Ontario.

The documented condition of those horses was severe: emaciation, inadequate winter shelter, frozen water, animals standing in heavy manure, open sores — and one horse so compromised he had to be humanely euthanized.

An Animal Welfare Services tribunal ruled the horses would not be returned to her care. She was billed more than $116,000 for their recovery before they became property of the Crown.

In a recent press interview Redlick publicly stated she has no intentions of paying that bill.

As reported by CTV NEWS, Redlick is currently facing multiple criminal charges for theft and fraud in two jurisdictions.

CRIMINAL CHARGES LAID FOR THEFT & FRAUD

ONLY PROVINCIAL CHARGES LAID…

But for the condition of the 16 horses, no Criminal Code charges were laid.

Instead, 13 charges were laid under provincial animal welfare legislation.

The Criminal Code addresses serious neglect and unnecessary suffering.

The documented state of these horses warranted criminal review then — and it still does.

Criminal charges can still be laid.

THE LETTER IN THE FORM READS…

Subject: Request for Criminal Code Review – Port Perry / Oro-Medonte Horse Seizures

To Whom It May Concern,

I am requesting that this matter be reviewed for charges under sections 445.1(1)(a) and 446(1)(b) of the Criminal Code of Canada in relation to the February 2025 seizure of 16 horses associated with Stephanie Redlick.

Animal Welfare Services seized the horses from a property in Port Perry. However, AWS charges were subsequently laid in both Port Perry and Oro-Medonte jurisdictions.

One horse was in such poor condition that he had to be humanely euthanized.

Documented findings describe horses without adequate shelter in winter conditions, water buckets frozen solid, animals described as emaciated, standing in significant accumulation of manure, picking through their own waste, and suffering from open sores. A tribunal later determined that Ms. Redlick would not have the horses returned to her care.

Section 446(1)(b) of the Criminal Code makes it an offence to fail to provide suitable and adequate food, water, shelter and care.

Section 445.1(1)(a) makes it an offence to wilfully cause, or as an owner permit, unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.

The legal threshold is not intent to kill, but whether the suffering was foreseeable and preventable.

Where animals are documented as emaciated, exposed to winter conditions without adequate shelter or water, and living in unsanitary and injurious conditions — and where one animal’s condition deteriorates to the point of euthanasia — the circumstances warrant assessment under the Criminal Code rather than regulatory enforcement alone.

I respectfully request confirmation that this matter has been reviewed for Criminal Code prosecution and referred to police and Crown counsel for assessment under sections 445.1 and 446.

Sincerely,

[Name]

THE ONE WHERE REDLICK ASKS CRYSTAL MITCHELL FOR HELP

THE ONE WHERE REDLICK ASKS CRYSTAL MITCHELL FOR HELP

 FEARLESS WHEN OTHERS BACKED DOWN

Stephanie Redlick, a name we heard for the first time, one year ago today.

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ABOUT REDLICK’S ABANDONED FOAL WHO DIED – YOU’LL FIND THAT HERE.

Public smearing is a well-used tactic of Redlick’s — one that has previously caused people to retreat and disengage.

In this case, it did not work.

After offering help and having that help accepted, Crystal Mitchell became the target of an aggressive and coordinated smear campaign across numerous Facebook profiles and groups.

The intent was clear: to intimidate, discredit, and force silence.

Crystal Mitchell is fearless – she did not back down.

What makes this episode particularly striking is that several of the allegations Redlick circulated publicly about Crystal are exactly the charges Redlick herself is facing in criminal court.

Redlick’s smear campaign tactic may have worked to silence others. It did not – and is not working this time.

 CAN YOU IMAGINE CRYSTAL’S SHOCK?

Crystal Mitchell had her first conversation with Stephanie Redlick on February 3rd, 2025.

Crystal, her husband Jason, Crystal’s daughter Summer and a friend Celia visited the property Stephanie Redlick was leasing in Oro-Medonte, Ontario over the course of a few days.

This was after Jim Horne tipped them off about the horrific condition of horses, frozen water buckets, lack of shelter for most of the 20 horses, and how the few stalls were piled high with manure.

What ever hay there was, was mouldy which can be deadly for horses and strings were still attached (also can be deadly for horses).

Crystal offered help to Redlick – and Stephanie eagerly accepted that help – admitting that she was in over her head.

And although in a January 2026 Rebel News interview Redlick claimed that Crystal asked Redlick for helpscreen shots of texts show a story that is the polar opposite of what Redlick so boldly stated to Rebel News.

IT TURNED OUT THERE WERE 20 HORSES INCUDING A PREGNANT MARE

SCREEN SHOTS OF REDLICK’S TEXTS TELL THE TALE

When asked how many horses she had, Stephanie Redlick’s response:

It turned out she had 20 horses – after the foal died.  Oh, and keep going, there are a LOT more screen shots below…

“Except the good ones we’d need money for. Ranging from 15-80K.”
– Stephanie Redlick

AN EXAMPLE OF ‘THE GOOD ONES’ 

Again, we say, you be the judge.

Does this look like a healthy horse who is receiving quality care?

Please note the water buckets are blocks of ice, the “bedding” is a foot or more of manure, this poor mare is skin and bones and has sores.

Redlick stated she was going to get $13,000 for her.  Yes, really.

Redlick is currently advertising that she provides first class board – of course the pictures she’s showing are of are a barn she was evicted from and one that is not in Milton as she is advertising – it is 100 kiometers from Milton. 

But we ask you again, does this look like quality care?

BACK TO THE SCREEN SHOTS…
REDLICK IN BLACK & CRYSTAL IS GREEN 

REDLICK ASKS CRYSTAL FOR 20 BALES OF HAY 

Okay so let’s break that down, that is Stephanie Redlick asking Crystal Mitchell if Crystal has any hay.  She is not offering to buy hay, she is expecting FREE hay.

Crystal asks how many bales and Redlick asks for 20 bales.

Again, PLEASE NOTE Crystal Mitchell GIFTS Stephanie Redlick those 20 bales.

Stephanie Redlick also asks if Crystal’s family can help dispose of the dead foal’s body.

Redlick ultimately dragged it to the edge of the property because she didn’t have the money to call a ‘body disposal’ company.

Oh, and Redlick is ‘greatful’.

Wait a minute.  She ‘started’ to rescue at the wrong time?

But Redlick you told Michael Owen of Orillia Matters on May 22nd, 2025 that you’d rescued 150 horses.

Then in January of 2026 you told David Menzies of Rebel News that you’d rescued 1,500 horses.

Yet you started at the wrong time – in February of 2025?

Something sounds a bit fishy.

CRYSTAL GIFTS REDLICK 20 BALES OF HAY 

Redlick calls Crystal her hero.

Stephanie Redlick refers to Crystal’s daughter Summer as “a cool chick”.  (And on that point she is exactly right.  Summer most certainly is “a cool chick”).

Crystal is going home after working all day to load bales of hay to gift to Stephanie Redlick and Redlick is so stressed her head is exploding.

REDLICK DOESN’T EVEN HELP UNLOAD THE HAY 

Redlick claims she did all her chores but also states her stalls are ‘bad’ and asks Crystal not to judge.

BAD?  That’s an understatment.

Horses standing on a foot or more of built up manure – we don’t have the words. Water buckets are frozen solid. But Redlick did ALL her chores?  

Crystal is bringing a gift of hay – Redlick won’t be there to help unload it and Redlick wants it put in the barn.  Yes, REALLY!

Do we believe any excuses Redlick makes?  NOPE.

REDLICK RELINQUISHES 4 HORSES TO CRYSTAL

Jason, Summer and Celia were horrified by what they saw on the property and ultimately Crystal dragged the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to the property, who were also horrified. The officers took pictures and video and immediately phoned Animal Welfare Services (AWS).

We didn’t know it at the time but AWS inspectors were at the property in  December of 2024 and wrote orders – so Redlick was known to them.

AWS WROTE ORDERS IN DECEMBER 2024

Redlick v. Chief Animal Welfare Inspector, 2025 ONACRB 168 (Motion Decision released July 25, 2025) Paragraph 18 Exact text (copied word-for-word) “The AWS inspector’s allegations regarding ‘non-compliance’ (December 30, 2024)…
Speaker / source: The Appellant’s counsel (Redlick’s lawyer)

So what are orders? Well, in this case someone delivering horses Redlick bought via an online auction (late in 2024) to a property Redlick was leasing in Oro-Medonte was so horrified by the conditions of the property — and the horses who were already there –that he called the Ontario Provincial Police — who were then forced to involve Animal Welfare Services (AWS).

Animal Welfare Services Inspectors would have visited the property and written ‘orders’ – orders are based on a very low threshold or ‘benchmark’ of what is considered adequate care.

Redlick would have likely been given over a week to comply — or at least prove that she was making progress towards complying.

AWS is known for not being transparent – and that’s a fight that we are prepared to pick up too.

AGAIN, WE KNOW THIS WAS NOT REDLICK’S FIRST RODEO

For the horses to be in such deplorable condition the first of February – AWS definitely dropped the ball.

Again, Crystal and her family and friend were there the first week of February 2025 and AWS was in contact with Redlick as late as December 30th, 2024.

Before Animal Welfare Services showed up in February Crystal managed to convince Stephanie to relinquish 4 horses who were in the most desperate need of medical attention – one of whom was so far gone that an equine veterinarian, a specialist, warned from moment one that he was likely not to survive.

Despite thousands in vet bills and a heroic effort by Crystal and her family, Seattle Sunrise ultimately had to be humanely euthanized.

Crystal, her family and 3 friends all had their names dragged through the mud by Stephanie Redlick – incredibly outlandish claims were made and continue to be made by Redlick about Crystal and others.

REDLICK’S SO CALLED CONTRACT

Remember the contract Redlick bragged to Rebel News she had with Crystal?  The video is here and below you’ll find the so called contract.

Oh, and Redlick has also repeatedly claimed that Crystal stole her horses.  Of course the screen shots and so called contract say differently…

Stephanie Redlick is the one with multiple criminal charges for theft and fraud and 13 animal welfare charges.

This situation highlights both the cruelty some humans are capable of and the compassion of those who choose to step up, take action and show kindness.

Thank you Crystal for being you and for all that you do for so many!

OH AND REDLICK – PLEASE DON’T WORRY…

 When we say we’ve been sitting on the screen shots for a year – we mean that we haven’t shared them publicly till now but Animal Welfare Services has had them the whole time.

HORSES SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Every year thousands of horses are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption, but you can help us ban horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including Japan.

This barbaric practice is currently not legal in the United States, so horses from the United States are shipped to Canada, and to Mexico, to be slaughtered.

In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air to Japan for slaughter, is far from humane.
