Cameron Cartier Of Buzzards Bay Pleaded Guilty To Violent Kidnapping

By Bryan Collins –

At the United States District Court in Boston, Cameron Cartier, 28, of Buzzards Bay pleaded guilty on September 30, 2022 to one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice by retaliating against a witness, victim, or informant.

In April 2019, Cartier and his co-conspirators lured a known victim from Massachusetts to Rhode Island, where they kidnapped and held him, stripped him naked, assaulted and threatened to rape him, and then took his clothing and cellular telephone. 

The purpose of this kidnapping and assault was to retaliate against the victim because Cartier and allegedly his co-conspirators erroneously believed the victim was cooperating with law enforcement. 

A video of the kidnapping and assault was allegedly filmed and maintained by Cartier’s co-conspirators.

U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs scheduled Cartier to be sentenced on January 10, 2023.
