Yan-Philippe Leduc, the man who allegedly violently attacked two alleged victims on December 30, failed in his attempt to leave prison because he could compromise the safety of the alleged victims Sabryna Germain and Laury Choinière.

The private trainer with an imposing physique was back in court Monday at the Longueuil courthouse for the decision related to the investigation into his release.
Judge Marc-Antoine Carette spoke of acts of great violence committed impulsively and completely gratuitously.
“A picture is worth a thousand words,” declared the magistrate, emphasizing the large build of the accused. The photographs of the complainants’ injuries speak for themselves, a crime of great violence, a crime of great cowardice.
“Moreover, he is accused of having wanted to thwart the course of justice by asking Mr.me Chouanière to withdraw his complaint. This is far from reassuring for the protection of victims.”

Last December, Leduc allegedly committed serious assault against Laury Choinière, “injuring her, disfiguring her and endangering her life.”
These two alleged victims gave powerful testimonies to TVA Nouvelles.
Sabryna Germain was allegedly beaten in Leduc’s car on December 30 in Brossard, an hour before the accused attacked the other young woman, Laury Choinière.
Laury Choinière had said that Yan-Philippe Leduc would have savagely attacked her. The young woman was hospitalized for a few days.
