  • 39 year old Burnaby man facing 9 child sex related charges

A 39-year-old Burnaby man is facing nine sex-related charges involving a child after an investigation by Burnaby RCMP’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offence (CASO) unit.

On March 3rd of last year police were contacted about allegations involving a man and a child victim whom the accused had initially met online, and later met in-person.

On March 9, 2023, following an extensive investigation, 39-year-old Adam Joseph Woolacott of Burnaby was charged with the following:

  • Five counts of sexual interference of a person under 16
  • Two counts of inviting, counselling or inciting a person under 16 to touch a person for a sexual purpose
  • One count of luring a child
  • One count of making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16.

“Woolacott has been known to have an active digital presence, including in some communities which may attract both children and adults through shared interests. We want the public to be aware of these charges and the ongoing conditions for Adam Woolacott, who is known to use his real name and screen names online,” said Cpl. Michelle Hurtubise with Burnaby RCMP’s CASO Unit. “As with any situation, please use caution with those you are interacting with both online and in person.”

Anyone who sees Woolacott breaking court-ordered conditions is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.
