In 2019, Lake Macquarie detectives established Strike Force Arapaima to re-examine the investigation into the unsolved disappearances and suspected murders of three teenage girls in the Lake Macquarie area.
As part of those investigations, police in 2020 arrested and charged Warren John McCorriston with a string of historical sexual assault offences. Warren McCorriston was last year jailed for a maximum of eight-and-a-half years.
As a result of the same investigation, the strike force uncovered allegations that the younger McCorriston had sexually abused two teenage boys between 1987 and 2007 in Lake Macquarie and on the Mid North Coast.
