    Executive With Quebec Pension Fund Manager Suspended After Child Porn Charges

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Nov, 2015 11:54 AM
      MONTREAL — A vice-president with Quebec's pension fund manager has been charged with possessing, distributing and accessing child pornography.
       
      Robert Cote is a vice-president of legal affairs at the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec and has been suspended with pay.
       
      He was released on bail Thursday by a judge following his arraignment.
       
      According to court documents, the charges of distributing child pornography are related to incidents that allegedly occurred between last January and March.
       
      The two other charges — accessing and possessing pornography — are in connection with events alleged to have occurred between 1997 and 2015.
       
      Jean-Benoit Houde, a Caisse spokesman, says a lawyer for the 52-year-old Cote was advised of the suspension while it conducts an internal investigation.
