✖️ Reading from her victim personal statement, one of the victims said: “I am on edge constantly. I have constant flashbacks of what happened to me at the hands of him. I was a child when the abuse started, I had my innocence taken away from me. Every single day is a struggle. I was a victim. I was a warrior and I have had to get to get this far. But now I am a survivor.”

✖️ The other woman had been s*xually abused by Tardif as a girl. In a statement, read by prosecutor Tobias Collins, she said she struggled to trust people and struggled to express her emotions as a result.
