In May 2014 we posted an article concerning Mr. André St-Amand who had gone from abused to abuser when a couple of years after allegedly receiving a “beating”, he turned on a fellow employee, assaulting her in full view of others at the Montreal offices.
Well, after we wrote that post, it got people talking in the Montreal TSO, as our posts usually do. We overheard an interesting sidebar to this story. It would appear that the employee in question (we called her Julie) heard that Mr. St-Amand would be testifying at the B.T. Ceramics case in a Laval courtroom. As told to us: as soon as Mr. St-Amand witnessed Julie enter the courtroom (while on the stand) he began to cry. I guess Mr. St-Amand didn’t realize that Julie was there just to watch his testimony, and feared that he was going to be questioned by a lawyer about the assault that happened last year.
We also know that one of the witnesses (another female) to last year’s assault was immediately confronted by Mr. St-Amand at her desk, telling her that she’d better not tell anyone what had just happened. It seems like she had the courage to defy this senior manager, and told Julie she would be willing to help. (We did not speak to either of these females because our source did not wish to implicate either of them in our blog).
