At a rally in support of sexual assault victims in October — following a string of sexual assaults and break-ins at Laval University residences –Paquet alleged she had been “violently” sexually assaulted by a politician.
She said the MNA assaulted her after meeting her while she was working as a hostess at a Quebec City restaurant in 2014.
