Lawyer Daniel Rochefort accused of sex crimes

Lawyer Daniel Rochefort, who established a reputation for defending police officers, has been arrested under suspicion of sexual assault on a minor and producing child porn. Police are seeking other victims. An adult woman, one of his clients, is also accusing him in civil court of sexual impropriety.

Later on Thursday, La Presse reports that Rochefort had been fired by the Université de Montréal in 2022 after complaints from a student about his sexual advances.
