Last September, Jessica Nicole Renee Kane was charged with manslaughter, seven counts of administering a stupefying or overpowering drug or substance, six counts of theft over $5,000, one count of theft, four counts of fraud and two counts of extortion.

She appeared in court on Monday and has now been released with conditions.

Kane must live at an address in Vancouver for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except when she can leave to attend medical appointments or go to the hospital or on Friday afternoons to “obtain necessities of life.”

She cannot engage in any sex trade work or possess any weapons, or any drug paraphernalia unless it has been prescribed to her.

Surrey RCMP said in September 2021, they were notified by officers in the community response unit that there have been multiple reports of men being drugged and having their belongings stolen while using the service.

In one of the incidents, in February 2021, a man died after being given a substance during an encounter, police said.

Throughout the investigation, police said they identified a suspect who is alleged to have committed multiple offences in Surrey, Burnaby, Langley and Vancouver.

Kane was arrested shortly after.

She was released on bail last October but was again taken into custody earlier this year after allegedly drugging and robbing someone in Vancouver, in violation of her bail conditions.

Kane is set to appear in court again on March 9.
