Donald Duguay, 47, told the court he and Salvail both worked in the mailroom at Radio-Canada when he first experienced unwanted advances from Salvail

He said that around Halloween 1993, they were no longer working together but Salvail followed him into a washroom, dropped his pants to expose himself and rubbed himself against Duguay, who said he managed to escape after threatening to scream.

At Duguay’s request, the court has waived the standard publication ban on the identity of alleged victims in sexual assault cases. Salvail, who has pleaded not guilty and opted for trial by judge alone, was one of Quebec’s most popular entertainers until he departed show business in 2017 after allegations of sexual misconduct were published by Montreal’s La Presse.
