Ryan LaForge, president of the Surrey Creep Catcher vigilante group, has been charged with two counts of assault in connection with a pair of “sting” operations in April.

The first incident occurred on April 3, when the Surrey RCMP were called to an altercation on King George Boulevard between LaForge and another man, who has since been charged with child luring related offences.

LaForge and group “soldier” Nicole Hunter confronted the man in a Surrey mall where they allege he was trying to arrange for sex with a six-year-old girl and her mother.

In a video posted on the Surrey Creep Catcher’s Facebook page, LaForge could be seen pushing the man and threatening to knock him out if he tried to flee.

LaForge was charged with one count of assault and one count of uttering threats in connection with the incident.
