The already disturbing story of two young girls placed in a nursing home in Val-Bélair takes an even more disturbing turn.
The son of the man sentenced to 10 years in prison on Monday for his crimes was given a summons for November 16, according to court documents seen by Le Journal.
Chrystopher Jean is formally charged at this time with sexual assault, contact and solicitation of sexual contact with a person under 16 years of age.
Same alleged victim
The 24-year-old young man accompanied his father Éric to the Quebec courthouse on Monday as he made his way to custody.
However, the investigators and the head of the Criminal and Law Enforcement Agency (DPCP) have sufficient reason to believe that the father is not the only one who abused the young person, who was placed by the DPJ with a foster family in the residential home.
According to the summons consulted by Le Journal, Chrystopher Jean is also said to have abused the young girl over a period of five months in early 2017. The defendant had just celebrated his 18th birthday at the time.

10 years in the shadow for the father
Recall that his father, Éric Jean, was sentenced on Monday to ten years in prison for sexually assaulting two young teenage girls staying in his home. The first incidents occurred in the mid-2000s, while the second victim was attacked over several years starting in 2015.
The 56-year-old admitted drugging one of his victims with sleeping pills for his attacks. He once drove her to Shawinigan to attack her, accompanied by his then-brother-in-law, David Hudon. The latter is also accused of sexual assault because of this event.
Éric Jean also had full contact with his second victim and engaged in “regular” fellatio and masturbation during the time of the crimes.
In both cases, the summary of facts filed in court on Monday mentions victims’ reports to DPJ employees. In the first case, the young girl was taken from Éric Jean’s apartment, but the man did not lose his foster family status. It was the second victim’s report, 19 years later, that led to the initiation of a police investigation and the first young woman’s complaint.
Reaction of the DPJ
The Regional Child Protection Directorate was called to explain what could have happened if two children in this family were attacked over such a long period of time and assured that it was “taking all the necessary measures to prevent such a situation from happening.” worries us all, does not happen.” .
“The CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale wants to reassure the population, users and their families and highlight the professionalism and friendliness of the staff and host families who work daily for the well-being and safety of children. », added the management of the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale, without, however, commenting directly on the case of the Jean family.
