High-Risk Sex Offender Charged in SkyTrain Groping, Transit Police Say

On April 18, a 17-year-old girl reported being groped by 30-year-old high-risk sex offender Hayden McCorriston at Gateway SkyTrain Station in Surrey.
McCorriston had been placed in a Vancouver halfway house as part of his community release but breached his release conditions prior to the assault, prompting a police investigation.
Transit Police identified McCorriston as the suspect through victim and witness reports, and he fled the station after the assault before being arrested days later.
McCorriston has been formally charged with sexual assault following approval from prosecutors, and he was previously found guilty in 2022 of sexually assaulting several women in Burnaby.
The case underscores ongoing public safety concerns about managing high-risk sex offenders released into the community and transit safety rights for passengers.
