Boucherville man facing sex assault charges involving minors

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) says 25-year-old Xavier Réhel, of Boucherville, Que., is facing charges in connection with a series of sexual assaults, including against minors.

The SQ says the alleged incidents happened between October 2025 and May of this year in the Montérégie and Centre-du-Québec regions.

It is alleged Réhel communicated with the victims via Snapchat and Messenger, using the pseudonym “XAV” under various accounts: xrhl12, xrehel25, xavrhl, and x_rehel.

Police say Réhel drives a black Tesla Model 3.

He is facing charges including sexual assault and breaking and entering. He appeared at the courthouse in Saint-Hyacinthe.
