Héléne David said she made the request Wednesday morning, after a Montreal resident claimed he suffered multiple sexual assaults at the hands of Jutra over 10 years when he was a child, beginning when he was only six.
“It’s extremely upsetting. These are very serious allegations,” David said in Quebec City. “All my thoughts go with the victim, who has lived with this his whole life, with the scars of this pedophilic act.”
Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre said Wednesday that the city will remove Jutra’s name from a park and street in the city.
In an interview in La Presse published Wednesday, the man, who wished to remain anonymous, reveals explicit details about the assaults that took place when Jutra would visit his home. Jutra and the man’s parents were friends, but they suspected nothing.
