A pimp who has already been in prison for five years for soliciting a 15-year-old girl has just been arrested again, this time on charges of procuring a 23-year-old woman.
In 2017, Joey-Brant Fournier was arrested after recruiting a 15-year-old girl who had fled the Center jeunesse l’Escale for sexual exploitation. The man, who initially pleaded guilty, later wanted to reverse his decision, but the judge nonetheless sentenced him to five years in prison in October 2020.
However, Fournier has now been arrested again on charges of pimping a 23-year-old young woman. The man who appeared on Wednesday afternoon now faces seven charges.
