Ex-Montreal priest allegedly viewed suspected child pornography on public transit
The board cited signs he was returning to his crime cycle and added restrictions on pornography and electronic devices for any future release.
- Last week, the Parole Board of Canada revoked the statutory release of 64-year-old Brian Boucher, concluding recent incidents and new charges indicate a return to his "crime cycle."
- Authorities arrested Boucher in April 2026 after receiving a tip alleging he viewed child sexual abuse material on public transit, an allegation he denies.
- The board described Boucher as "impermeable to intervention," noting he continues to deny his original convictions and has shown little progress in rehabilitation programs.
- Any future release requires Boucher to live at an approved residential facility under strict conditions, including geographic restrictions in Montreal to prevent victim contact.
- The case is scheduled to return to court on Nov. 23 as legal proceedings regarding Boucher's new charges continue.
