More allegations surface against Reid Boucher, who has pleaded guilty to sexual assault

Reid Boucher recently pleaded guilty to charges of first degree sexual conduct with a minor, and now he finds himself facing even more allegations. A woman has stated that the then 21-year-old Boucher attempted to solicit photos from her over Facebook. According to the story of the incident as told by The Athletic's Katie Strang, the woman involved was 15 years old at the time.

"Around midnight one evening, Boucher messaged the girl, asking how old she was. After she told him, he remarked that she looked older and lamented that she was 'too young to do anything I'd ask,' like send photos via Snapchat. She agreed she was too young. Two weeks later, Boucher messaged her again, a little after 1 a.m., asking: 'Still a no huh?' She responded that her age hadn't changed," Strang wrote.

The exchanges at the time didn't seem like a huge deal to the alleged victim, but now the woman feels differently after hearing about other cases about Boucher.

"Initially, I was very confused," the woman said, considering how much time had passed since they first met. "I thought maybe it was something not creepy."

"But as soon as the conversation started, I knew it was not a normal conversation."

Another woman in New Jersey alleges a similar interaction with Boucher in January of 2014. The then 17-year-old was also asked to send explicit photos over Facebook.

"It made me feel like he knew he had this advantage on someone like me," the woman said.

Boucher will be sentenced for the sexual assault of the 12-year-old on January 31st. As of right now, he remains a member of the KHL's Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. The league is currently on a temporary shutdown. Many in Russia are calling for Boucher's removal from the league.
