In a terse statement indicating that no charges of sexual assault would be filed as a result of the claims of 21-year old Alice Paquet, M.N.A. Gerry Sklavounos announced that he is planning a return to the political scene in Quebec by reclaiming his position in the caucus of the ruling Liberal Party. The news that Gerry Sklavounos was facing accusations he had assaulted Ms. Paquet was dropped as a bomb on Quebec politics last October. Immediately, Premier Philippe Coulliard forced Mr.Sklavounos to resign from his caucus while Alice Paquet toured the media telling a story filled with gaps and contradictions. In fact, such unsubstantiated stories have the effect of ridiculing complaints of sexual violence.
