According to a story from The Athletic Ried Boucher apparently has an affinity for younger women. These two stories are just more signs of Boucher's attempts to exploit underage victims.
In her most recent article Katie Strang brought fourth this information:
In October 2014, then 21-year-old New Jersey Devils prospect Reid Boucher attempted over Facebook to solicit photos from a 15-year-old Canadian girl.
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.
Clearly Boucher was aware of his victims age in this instance and still attempted his predatory behaviour. This information coming to light could put Boucher's plea deal in jeopardy as well. But this appears to not be the only instance that Reid attempted to solicit photos of an underage girl.
A woman in New Jersey had a similar interaction with Boucher in January 2014. Boucher sent the girl, who was then 17, Facebook messages asking her to send him photos of her breasts via Snapchat. She had friended Boucher on Facebook when he was drafted by the Devils in 2011, something she and her friends often did when the team added new prospects.
The conversation moved to Skype, and the woman eventually put her male cousin on the phone with Boucher because she felt uncomfortable with what he was asking of her. «He got annoyed when I wasn't alone,» said the woman, now 25. She later sent him a message that she didn't want to send any photos of herself. At one point during their conversation, he asked her not to publicly mention that he was messaging her.
These instances are piling up with reports that police are also looking into this new information. The Sarnia String yesterday removed Boucher from their teams record books and hopefully other leagues will take similar steps to erase this disgusting human being.
