Criminal charges

In addition to past heroin and cocaine addictions, Michel is an admitted alcoholic, and was convicted for drinking and driving in 1998. He later received a nine-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to assault after throwing a can at a former girlfriend's six-year-old son the same year.

Some time during the 1990s, he was sentenced to three years in prison for sexually assaulting a Montreal woman, allegedly taking her home from a bar, then tying her up and forcing sex on her.

In 2003, Michel was charged with 3 counts of sexual assault, when a 19-year old accused him of having non-consensual sex with her after she passed out from heavy drinking at his apartment in Yellowknife. His trial lasted four days before he was acquitted by a 6-male, 6-female member jury.
