Renowned choreographer and artistic director Eddy Toussaint has been arrested for alleged sexual assaults allegedly committed between 2015 and 2017.
The Laval Police Service (SPL) adds that the 77-year-old suspect appeared in the Criminal Chamber on July 20 at the Laval courthouse and was released on several conditions. He will return to court next November.
Police say they have investigative evidence that suggests other people may have been victims of Eddy Toussaint’s alleged actions. SPL investigators invite them to communicate with them.
Police say that at the time of the alleged incident, the alleged victim, a man in his twenties who aspired to a career in dancing, was cared for by Eddy Toussaint who helped him become a professional dancer.
The suspect, however, allegedly pressured the alleged victim to have sex with him.
The police believe that this scheme was used on other people.
Further details will follow.
