The allegations against the producer and talk show host date from between April and November 1993 and involve one victim, according to a charge sheet released by the prosecutor’s office.
Once a major star in Quebec, Salvail abruptly departed from the entertainment scene following allegations of sexual misconduct published by Montreal’s La Presse in 2017.
Salvail had his own TV production company, hosted a show on Groupe V Media and was a fixture on afternoon radio in the province.
