Married for 17 years to the maternal grandmother of three girls between the ages of four and ten, the accused was considered the actual grandfather of the children.
They were also regularly kept with their grandparents, to whom they were very close.
Except that the 61-year-old man, whose name cannot be given so as not to identify the young victims, at least behaved bizarrely and illegally in his wife’s absence.
Periodically, the defendant would drop both his pants and underwear and take his penis “by moving it a little.”
According to the three victims, this scene was repeated several times in 2018 and 2019, but it took them several months to verbalize the situation, particularly because of their age.
However, the eldest of three girls, now 13, said she was once sexually touched by her grandfather when she asked the defendant for help after using the toilet.
During his trial, the Portneuf resident admitted to having his panties down, but only for “educational purposes” to keep the girls from masturbating in front of others.
The grandfather’s version was rejected and he was convicted of exhibitionism and sexual assault.
The maternal grandmother, who did nothing when the girls first reported the situation to her, continued to support her husband despite the allegations.
The victims therefore experienced a major loyalty problem when they saw their bond with their grandmother was broken.
The defendant “betrayed the trust” of his family, argued Judge Marie-Claude Gilbert, who pointed out that repeating his acts compounded the damage.
For this reason, the 61-year-old was sentenced to four years in prison.
