The Vancouver Police Department say that the 58-year-old – who failed to return to a halfway house on Saturday – has not been located
Police believe Hopley was in the Downtown Eastside before moving south to the Mount Pleasant area.
“We believe somewhere along the way he cut off his monitoring bracelet and as a result we haven’t been able to locate him,” said Sgt. Steve Addison.
Hopley was expected to appear in court Monday morning to face two counts of breaching his supervision order. This stems from a parole board recommendation in January that he be charged criminally for his non-compliance after allegedly being found at a public library near children.
Hopley has a history of convictions for assault, property and sexual crimes, including three sex offences against children, according to police.
