22-victim sexual assault trial of Ste. Anne doctor delayed due to missing evidence
A sexual assault trial of a former doctor from southeastern Manitoba has been delayed to address evidence that may have been lost or destroyed.
Dr. Arcel Bissonnette is facing 22 sexual assault charges for alleged offences against several female patients when he worked in Ste. Anne, Man.
The trial was supposed to hear from its first witness on Monday, but Bissonnette's lawyers said they have concerns about missing documents from the town's police department that detail claims against the doctor beginning in 2017.
