Quebec singer Luck Mervil has been sentenced to two years in prison for sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman more than 25 years ago.
The trial heard that the woman was intoxicated and asleep in a hotel in Rimouski when she was assaulted.
Mervil’s lawyer had asked that her client be allowed to serve his sentence at home, but Quebec Court Judge James Rondeau said that wasn’t appropriate given the seriousness of the crime and the victim’s vulnerability.
The Crown had asked for 30 months.
Mervil’s two-year sentence means he must serve in a federal prison rather than a provincial jail.
He will also be on probation for three years and will appear on the province’s sexual offender registry for 20 years.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 11, 2026.
