SPVM Intended to Execute Undercover Operation Involving Gilbert Rozon During Inquiry
Rewritten Article:
Montreal Police Service (SPVM) reportedly hatched a plan to "crack down on" Gilbert Rozon in 2018 amidst a slew of sexual assault allegations. The proposed operation, if it had taken place, would have seen his former lover, Véronique Moreau, convincing Rozon to a secret meeting, aiming to record him unawares[1].
Moreau revealed this during her testimony before Judge Chantal Tremblay, stating, "Police inquired if I was alright with engaging in a conversation with him and me... I had to understand things from my ex-lover's angle. I told them, 'I'm doing this for myself, and if it helps you, that's great'"[2].
Moreau's involvement with the SPVM happened after her sister, Sophie Moreau, filed a sexual assault complaint.
While faced with questions about attempting to "set him up," Moreau disclosed that the police had proposed a meeting between her and Rozon, but it never materialized. The reasons behind the aborted operation were not delved into in court[2].
"Adrift in a tempest"
Moreau, who was with Rozon for a dozen years, is now coming forward to support her sister, Sophie, one of the nine women suing Rozon for damages[3]. Moreau admitted that she was sympathetic towards Rozon during the tumultuous events of October 2017. "There were a lot of feelings, it was intense. I supported my sister, but at the same time, I was safeguarding my cherished relationship. We were tossing in a sea of chaos"[2].

Myth-Busting and Stereotype Breaking
Moreau's cross-examination was temporarily delayed as it fell into the realms of myths and stereotypes surrounding victims of sexual and domestic violence[2]. This was confirmed when Mr. Rozon brought forth appeals regarding a newly enacted article of the Civil Code, which presumes certain facts irrelevant in cases of sexual assault or domestic violence when they can tie to such myths and stereotypes[2].
To avoid a suspension of the trial, the women accusing Rozon allowed him to question them fully. A more in-depth debate about the new provision will ensue later.
