Woman who accused Montreal cop of sexual assault defends testimony on witness stand

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The lawyer for a Montreal police officer on trial for sexual assault cross-examined the alleged victim Tuesday, who insisted she was scared and did not welcome the officer’s advances.

“I was definitely scared and out of my element,” the woman said on her second and final day on the stand. “I did the best I could with what I had.”The alleged victim is a woman in her 40s whose identity is protected by a publication ban. She had come to Montreal with her then-boyfriend for a Valentine’s Day weekend when they were arrested downtown because they were arguing on the street after a night of drinking.

Frechette’s lawyer, Felix Remillard-Larose, questioned the woman about alleged inconsistencies between her testimony and the version of events she gave to investigators in a recorded statement about 10 days after the incident. Remillard-Larose asked why some specifics about the alleged groping only came out during her testimony on Monday.

Despite qualifying his behaviour as creepy, she told the court Tuesday she didn’t report Frechette’s behaviour to any of his colleagues or superiors when she was in detention or after she was released.“But the things that happened, happened,” she told Quebec court Judge Lori Renee Weitzman.
