The summary of the events presented to the victim brought tears and some women who were in the court were waiting for another chance.
Poulin appeared on October 29, 2021 on charges of criminal harassment and harassing communications.
A new accusation
However, his charge grew when the prosecution added assault on the victim while she was in a relationship with him between 2014 and 2019.
Alexandre Poulin confessed to hitting the girl many times during this time.
Citing a police report, the prosecutor recounted many episodes of violence throughout his life.
Alexandre Poulin is due back before a judge in July for his sentencing.

At the beginning of his report, Poulin, who is also the author, emotionally depresses injuries, insults and victimhood.
When she conceived, an episode of physical violence began.
If you do not bear my son, I will kill you, especially Poulin to his victim.
He could strangle me enough to see the stars, he cited the example of a girl with sadness.
“He threatened to lose his life if she left him.”
— A passage from Me Caroline Munger, prosecutor.
As soon as Poulin was shocked, he could spit on his wife, throw wine at her and physically attack her.
The attack by Alexandre Poulin shook the women in the market, one of whom consoled the victim.

Poulin listened to the sum of the events without a murmur, while the constable carried a box of tissues to the victim, who was alone, so that she could wipe away her tears.
That’s when the woman he didn’t know changed seats for him to sit next to him.
Prosecutor Poulin held his hand and made him continue to bring evidence of abuse.
Harassment
After their separation, the ex-politician adviser created Facebook and Tinder accounts under false identities to spy on her ex-fiancé.
He also flooded her with e-mails and phone calls, asking them to resume their lives together.
Sometimes he will follow her and ask her if she has rebuilt her life.
Alexandre Poulin was imprisoned for a week, after his arrival in October 2021, before being released with the promise of therapy.
The judge is concerned
Having learned the facts, for which Poulinus admitted his guilt, the judge concerned himself with the safety of the victim.
Poulin claims that he acted as a judge because of his alcohol and drug problems.
Judge Renatus de la Sablonnière also advised him to apply the conditions of his release.
I want to make sure that the victim sleeps in peace, expressed the magistrate who is going to see Poulin again in July, to define his sentence.
In the meantime, the former Parti Québécois employee will meet with the probation officer who will prepare a report to support the Court’s decision.
As they left the courtroom, they hugged the victim and the women who were shocked by his story.
And I testify as a victim
The victim intends to testify about the consequences of the violence she suffered at the next hearing.
At the beginning of Beauce, where he worked as a journalist, Alexandre Poulin also wrote an essay called The Desire of Perfection: Reflections of a Political Heir.
He now lives in old Quebec.
At the time of his arrest, he worked for six months as an employee of the parliamentary investigation wing of the Parti Québécois.
The party terminated his role as soon as he was informed of his legal difficulties.
