Denis Tremblay, a priest from Sainte-Martine accused of sexual violations, chose to plead his case in front of a judge and jury if his case goes that far.

The preliminary hearing of the 70-year-old man originally set for April 28, got postponed to June 5. At this stage, it must be determined whether there is sufficient evidence for a trial to be held.
A priest at Sainte-Martine for more than 20 years, Tremblay is accused of sexual molesting, indecent exposure and indecency on a person over whom he had authority. These acts allegedly took place over a 40-year-period, between 1968 and 2007.
The priest was arrested by the Sret du Quebec last December 10. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and is free pending court procedures. Meanwhile, the clergy member is also unable to practise his profession in the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield diocese.
