MONTREAL — Former Parti Québécois leader André Boisclair was sentenced on Monday to two years less a day in jail after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two young men in his Montreal apartment.
Quebec court Judge Pierre Labelle said Boisclair's acts had "devastating consequences" on the two victims, adding the sentence is sufficiently severe and takes into account the fact the former politician has shown remorse and pleaded guilty.
"The acts committed by the offender are highly reprehensible," Labelle said. "Attacking people like this profoundly wounds their physical integrity and their dignity."
