Woman Accused of Sexually Assaulting Vulnerable Student in Hamilton
Police say Karly Tripp faces sexual assault, voyeurism and death threat charges after allegedly using her school role to access a vulnerable student.
- The Hamilton Police Sex Crimes Unit charged 30-year-old Karly Tripp with Sexual Assault, Assault, Voyeurism, and Utter Threat to Cause Death after investigators alleged she fraudulently worked as an Educational Assistant within the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board.
- In Sept. 2025, the victim's family believed Tripp was a qualified respite worker, allowing her to meet the student outside her school role, where investigators allege the offences occurred during these private interactions.
- Police report some of Tripp's credentials were false, and while she currently remains incarcerated on unrelated charges, investigators believe she may have targeted vulnerable persons through her school employment.
- Investigators believe Tripp may have targeted other vulnerable persons, and the Hamilton Police Sex Crimes Unit suggests there may be additional victims requiring identification and support.
- Anyone with relevant information should contact Detective Constable Sarah Postuma at 905-540-6252; anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
