US EditionHigh-Risk Sex Offender Charged in SkyTrain Groping, Transit Police Say
SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUN 19 – Hayden McCorriston, previously convicted in 2022, was charged after allegedly groping a 17-year-old at a Surrey SkyTrain station one day after his statutory release, police said.
- A high-risk sex offender, Hayden McCorriston, aged 30, is facing new sexual assault charges related to a groping incident at Surrey's Gateway SkyTrain Station in April 2025.
- The charges followed McCorriston's release to a halfway house in Vancouver and a public warning by police, with allegations he violated release conditions before arrest.
- Metro Vancouver Transit Police investigated after a 17-year-old girl reported being followed off a train and assaulted on the platform, and McCorriston fled after she sought help.
- Separately, James Carpenter, 56, a registered sex offender, pleaded guilty to breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order by accessing indecent images via an unregistered phone discovered at his Keighley home.
- Carpenter has started serving a combined two-year jail term following a judge's ruling that he poses a public danger, leading to the revocation of his previous order and the issuance of a new ten-year SHPO set to last until June 2035.
