Harold LeBel (French pronunciation: [a.ʁɔld lə.bɛl]; born June 22, 1962) is a Canadian former politician and convicted sex offender in Quebec, who was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 2014 election.[1] He represented the electoral district of Rimouski as a member of the Parti Québécois.
He was a candidate for the party three times previously, running in Rivière-du-Loup in the 1989 election and the 1994 election, and in Kamouraska-Témiscouata in the 2003 election.[2]
On December 15, 2020, he was arrested following allegations of sexual assault against Catherine Fournier a former member of the National Assembly, dating back to 2017. He was released later that day, and subsequently expelled from the PQ caucus, pending further investigations.[3]
LeBel was found guilty on November 23, 2022 of sexually assaulting of Catherine Fournier at his residence in 2017.[4]
On January 26, 2023, at the courthouse of Rimouski, he was sentenced to eight months of imprisonment.[5]
