According to a report by Universal Hub, Exavier allegedly approached women who were standing on the T and would “grind his face in their buttocks.”
Exavier was due to be arraigned Friday in Boston Municipal Court on a count of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older for Thursday’s incident. He is also set to be arraigned on the same charge in Brighton court for a similar assault that allegedly took place on Tuesday, according to the Universal Hub report.
Exavier is reportedly suspected in a third sexual assault, but the victim in that incident declined to press charges.
