With the public’s assistance, Burnaby RCMP’s High Risk Offender (HRO) Unit was able to identify a suspect.

On April 6, 2023, after a months-long investigation, BC Prosecution Service approved charges against 60-year-old Karoly Molnar.

Molnar faces two charges in relation to this incident:

• Indecent act
• Exposure of genitals to a person under the age of 16

Molnar has numerous conditions he must abide by while he awaits his court date.

The most vulnerable individuals in our community are our youth and children. The safety of our community’s children is a top priority, said Sgt. Aly Mohan with Burnaby RCMP’s General Investigation Services. I’m proud of our HRO unit for the dedication and perseverance they displayed in this investigation. I’m also very impressed and thankful for the community members that stepped up to assist our investigators.
