    TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. — A Quebec man has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two teen girls, including one who became pregnant, and was sentenced to 57-months behind bars.
     
    Mathieu Roy had initially pleaded not guilty but changed his plea today and was sentenced by Quebec court Judge Guylaine Tremblay
     
    Roy broke down in tears after the judge read his sentence, a joint recommendation from the defence and Crown.
     
    He was first charged with sexual assault and sexual touching against an 11-year-old girl, who became pregnant and gave birth.
     
    Roy, 32, was later charged with the similar crimes against a 15-year-old.
     
    The assaults took place between 2013 and last year in Trois-Rivieres, Que., about 150 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
