Just for Laughs founder’s sex-assault civil trial disrupted by insults and threats
MONTRÉAL — One of the women accusing Just for Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon of sexual assault lashed out at him during a break in his civil trial today.
Actress Danie Frenette shouted in the courtroom that Rozon is a liar after he denied during his testimony her allegations and those of her stepdaughter.
Her husband allegedly grabbed Rozon by the throat and threatened him after he left the courtroom.
The judge later excluded Frenette’s husband from the courtroom for the remainder of the proceedings, and suspended the trial until Friday morning.
