    THREE-RIVERS – Jonathan Bettez was back in front of the judge, on Friday, at the courthouse of Trois-Rivières, to apply for the right to be absent at the time of its preliminary investigation next week.

    With kidney failure, it will need to be hospitalized.

    The judge proposed to adjourn the case, but Bettez refused. “I prefer that it be held on time,” he said, renouncing the right to be present.

    The request was accepted by the judge Jacques Lacoursière.

    Recall that Jonathan Bettez is facing charges of possession, distribution and accessing child pornography.

    During his presence in court in the morning, several police officers were present.
