ST-JEROME, QUE.—Another alleged victim of Bertrand Charest began testifying at his sex-assault trial Wednesday and said the former ski coach put his hands down her pants when she was about 16. She said the incident occurred as Charest was driving her to a ski competition. The witness is the seventh alleged victim to take the stand at the trial, which began last week in Saint-Jerome, north of Montreal. Charest is facing 57 charges, including sexual assault and breach of trust for alleged offences against 12 girls between the ages of 12 and 19. Wednesday’s witness said that on another occasion, Charest pushed her up against a wall and kissed her.
