B.C. sex offender pleads guilty to breaching supervision order following manhunt

Apr 26, 2024 | 5:06 PM

VANCOUVER — A high-risk sex offender who went on the run for 10 days in Vancouver has pleaded guilty to breaching his long-term supervision order and failing to attend court. 

The province’s prosecution service confirmed that Randall Hopley entered the guilty pleas in provincial court on Friday.

Hopley walked away from a halfway house in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside after cutting off his ankle monitor in November.

The public manhunt ended when investigators said Hopley turned up outside a police station to give himself up because he was feeling cold.
