Wearing a grey windbreaker and sporting a scraggly salt-and-pepper beard, Daniel Cormier looked tired and sullen as he sat handcuffed in the glass-enclosed prisoner's dock, listening to the judge as he rejected a defence motion to submit evidence from his first sexual assault trial in his second trial on charges of sexually touching a minor. The judge ruled that each case would be judged on its own merits.

The 57-year-old self-proclaimed pastor was already found guilty last October of sexual assault of a minor. He argued his sexual relations with the underaged girl were legal because he married her in his now defunct Church of Downtown Montreal and that it wasn't a crime to have sex with your wife. The relationship started when she was eight and he was 47.
