The defence for former Parti Québécois legislator Harold LeBel closed its case on Tuesday in his trial for sexual assault.

Earlier in the day, Superior Court Justice Serge Francoeur called prosecutor Jérôme Simard to order because the lawyer brought up a declaration the accused made to police during his 2020 arrest.
