Quebec singer Luck Mervil gets community sentence for sexual exploitation
MONTREAL — Well-known Quebec singer Luck Mervil was given a six-month sentence in the community Wednesday for the sexual exploitation of a 17-year-old girl in 1996.
The sentence is exactly what the defence and the Crown jointly recommended last week.
Mervil, 50, was arrested in 2014 and charged with sexual assault and sexual exploitation but they were changed to two counts of sexual exploitation before the Crown dropped one of the charges.
He pleaded guilty earlier this month.
