The post refers to videos uploaded to a pornography website.

Hampton said investigators are reviewing the videos to determine whether “an offence has occurred and whether or not that offence has occurred on the transit system in Metro Vancouver.”

He went on to say Transit Police will be liaising with police in other jurisdictions as there are reports of incidents occurring in public areas throughout Vancouver.
