Overview
- The board’s latest decision says Hopley remains an undue risk to society after leaving his community placement the day he was freed in May.
- Officials detailed a long-standing pattern of violating court‑ordered conditions, including bans on contact with children and on accessing pornography.
- He refused to stay at the Vancouver facility chosen for the remainder of an 18‑month sentence for failing to attend court and breaching a long‑term supervision order.
- The panel cited several concerns about his likelihood of reoffending when unlawfully at large, which led to the revocation of his statutory release.
- Hopley told the board he had heard “horror stories” about the assigned site and preferred another facility, and he becomes eligible for statutory release again in September.
