Rielly Wright-Quesnel, a 23-year-old resident of Colchester, Vermont, was arraigned last week on several charges related to child sexual abuse material and voyeurism. The Vermont Attorney General’s Office stated that Wright-Quesnel faces two misdemeanor counts of voyeurism, one felony count of possession of child sexual abuse material, and one felony count of promoting a recording of sexual conduct. The investigation was conducted by the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (VT-ICAC).
During the arraignment on February 17, 2026, at the Vermont Superior Court in Chittenden County, Judge Robert Katims set conditions for Wright-Quesnel’s release. These include restrictions on contact with minors, bans from places where children gather or live (unless family), and limitations on internet use.
The VT-ICAC is responsible for investigating online child sexual exploitation cases in Vermont. The task force also provides forensic services, technical help to law enforcement agencies, training for officers, and public education efforts.
