Sex Case Of Ex-Alpine Canada Coach Bertrand Charest Put Off Until September

The Canadian Press, 22 Jul, 2015 11:43 AM
    SAINT-JEROME, Que. — The case of a former national ski coach who faces a host of sex-related charges involving girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 19 has been put off until September.
     
    Bertrand Charest faces 57 charges, including sexual assault and breach of trust.
     
    Charest was again denied bail in late June.
     
    The date of Sept. 10 for the resumption of the case was set Tuesday.
     
    Charest's latest alleged victim came forward recently and said she was sexually assaulted in Whistler, B.C., in the late 1990s.
     
    The initial incidents allegedly took place in the '90s in Mont-Tremblant, north of Montreal, and in France, Austria, New Zealand and the United States.
     
    Charest worked with Alpine Canada's women's development team between 1996 and 1998.
     
    He has been in custody since his arrest in March.
