Confinement Case Adjourned Until December

A Queens County man charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault against a 16 year-old boy has had his case adjourned until next month. David James Leblanc made a brief court appearance this morning in Bridgewater. The 47 year-old is facing seven charges in total in relation to an incident in Upper Chelsea. Leblanc was wheeled into the courtroom with the help of two sheriffs. Defence lawyer Mike Taylor says his client recently had surgery on his feet after suffering frostbite while on the run from police in northern Ontario. The RCMP launched an investigation after a teenager landed at a woman's doorstep claiming he had be held captive for about one week. The case will resume on December 19th. Taylor says he hopes to set dates for a preliminary inquiry.
