Samuel Moderie: Crown seeking 25 years for man who raped women, filmed abuse [Video]

Prosecutors are asking for a historic 25-year prison sentence for a Montreal area man who pleaded guilty to 24 sexual assault related charges.

Samuel Moderie, who drugged and raped 13 women in 2022 and filmed the abuse, asked for a shorter 15-year prison term at his sentencing hearing Friday in Montreal.

He did, however, agree with prosecutors that he should be labelled a long-term offender, which comes with a 10 years surveillance period after release.

Moderie will be back in court to receive his sentence on Jan. 22.
