The private trainer with an imposing stature was back in court on Monday at the Longueuil courthouse to make the decision in connection with the investigation into his release.
Judge Marc-Antoine Carette spoke of major acts of violence that were committed impulsively and completely without justification.
“A picture is worth a thousand words,” explained the judge, emphasizing the defendant’s tall stature. The photos of the complainants' injuries speak for themselves: a crime of great violence, a crime of great cowardice.
“Furthermore, he is accused of attempting to defeat the course of justice by asking Ms Chouanière to withdraw her complaint. This is anything but reassuring when it comes to protecting the victims.”

Last December, Leduc Laury allegedly seriously assaulted Choinière, “injuring her, disfiguring her and endangering her life.”
These two alleged victims gave convincing statements to TVA Nouvelles.
Sabryna Germain was allegedly beaten in Leduc's car in Brossard on December 30, an hour before the defendant attacked the other young woman, Laury Choinière.
Laury Choinière had said that Yan-Philippe Leduc had brutally attacked her. The young woman was in the hospital for a few days.
