Drapak was one of several plaintiffs named in a $25 million class-action lawsuit against individuals affiliated with Legacy Christian Academy and Mile Two Church.
The lawsuit was filed in 2022 by former students of the school, alleging systemic abuse and naming 22 individuals associated with the church and school, which was formerly known as Christian Center Academy. On June 3, 2025, a Saskatoon judge dismissed the lawsuit, pointing to an abuse of process.
In a previous interview with 650 CKOM, Drapak said he attended Christian Centre Academy from 1991 to 1999. Drapak said when he was 15 years old, he was escorted to the school principal’s office and sent to a bible training centre located near Big River. Drapak said it was one of the most traumatizing experiences of his life.
Drapak is expected to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court to enter a plea on the voyeurism charge on July 6.
University of Saskatchewan confirms Drapak is employee
The University of Saskatchewan confirmed Drapak is an employee, but said he has been suspended. The university said it would not comment further due to the open police investigation.
Drapak’s profile on Linkedin lists his experience as an IT specialist with the university since 2008.
“Be assured that the safety of our campus community is our top priority. We have zero tolerance for this behaviour and will work with the (Saskatoon Police Service) on this incident,” the university said in a statement.
“When we become aware of conditions that pose a potential threat, we take steps to ensure the safety and security of our living, learning and working environment by following best practices and processes, and getting the legal guidance required so as not to violate legislation or individual rights.”
