Former Parti Quebecois leader Andre Boisclair has pleaded not guilty to charges in separate cases involving two alleged victims whose identities are covered by a publication ban
Former Parti Quebecois leader Andre Boisclair’s criminal cases on allegations of sexual assault are due back in court today.
In one case, Boisclair is charged with sexual assault with the participation of a third party and sexual assault with a weapon in connection with events that allegedly took place in January 2014. He renounced his right to a preliminary inquiry in both cases last September and elected to go straight to trial before judge alone.
He was later Quebec’s delegate general in New York from 2012 to 2013 and was president of the Urban Development Institute of Quebec from 2016 until his arrest.
