TROIS-RIVIERES – A second young victim has come forward to accuse Mathieu Roy, 32, of sexual assault.
The alleged victim was between 14 and 15 years-old when the assault reportedly occurred, between December 2013 and April 2014.
Roy was supposed to appear in a Trois-Rivières courtroom Monday for a bail hearing.
The prosecutor asked to postpone the hearing in order to prepare new charges.

Last week, Roy was charged with sexual assault and sexual touching against a child under the age of 16 after allegedly raping and impregnating a 12-year-old girl.
According to police, the assaults took place when the girl was 11, between August 2014 and April 2015.
It’s unclear what Roy’s relationship was with the 11-year-old, but he was reportedly in regular contact with her.
A few weeks ago, the girl’s mother brought her to the Trois-Rivières regional medical centre (CHRTR) for a check up because she wasn’t feeling well and had digestion problems.
A doctor discovered she was 36 weeks pregnant.
The girl was too far along for abortion to be considered an option and she gave birth to a girl in May.
The identity of both alleged victims is protected by the Quebec Youth Protection Code.
