Overview

  • Hopley, 60, is back in the community under statutory release in Vancouver after serving two‑thirds of his sentence.
  • Release conditions bar him from being near children or places they gather, impose a 6 p.m.–7 a.m. curfew, prohibit pornography and internet‑enabled devices, and require residence at an approved facility.
  • The Vancouver Police Department issued a public advisory, released a recent photo, and asked people to call 911 if they see him breaching conditions.
  • Authorities note a pattern of non‑compliance, including removing an ankle monitor and a 10‑day manhunt in 2023 before he was found in Vancouver.
  • He was rearrested hours after a May 2025 release for violating conditions and is designated a long‑term offender subject to extended supervision.
