MONTREAL – Police
informant Yves Trudeau has been sentenced to
four years in prison for sexually assaulting a
13-year-old boy.
Last April, Trudeau, 58, pleaded guilty to
six sexual assault charges involving an
adolescent boy between 2000 and 2004.
The judge at the Laval courthouse agreed with
the Crown, who was recommending a four-year
sentence. Trudeau, who was representing himself,
recommended a two-year sentence.
Trudeau was a founding member of the Quebec
arm of the Hells Angels, and is an infamous
killer. He confessed to 43 murders in 1986,
before turning police informant, and assuming a
new identity under the witness protection
program.
He was given parole from his life sentence in
the early 1990s.
Trudeau was the first biker to turn informant
after surviving a shootout in Lennoxville, Que.
