A man convicted of sexually assaulting strangers in Burnaby and Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»has been released and police are warning the public.
Hayden McCorriston, 30, has been released from custody and is living at a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»halfway house.
His sentence expires in 2026, but Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»police were alerted that he has obtained statutory release.
"Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»police believe McCorriston poses [a] significant risk of harm to the community and is a high risk to commit further physical and sexual violence,” said Sgt. Steve Addison.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»police say he was convicted of sexually assaulting multiple women in both cities back in 2022.
He is currently serving a three-year, two-month jail sentence for five counts of sexual assault, break-and-enter, failure to comply with an undertaking, assaulting a peace officer, possession of property obtained by crime, mischief, robbery, indecent acts, assault, and assault by choking.
Under his release conditions, he is not to consume drugs or alcohol, has a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and is not to enter a licensed establishment. McCorriston must report all intimate sexual and non-sexual relationships and friendships with females to his parole supervisor.
Investigators from the High-Risk Offender Unit will work with Correctional Service Canada to monitor McCorriston.
Anyone who observes him breaching his release conditions is asked to contact police immediately.
