    TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. — A Quebec man has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two teen girls, including one who became pregnant, and was sentenced to 57-months behind bars.

    Roy broke down in tears after the judge read his sentence, a joint recommendation from the defence and Crown.
     
    He was first charged with sexual assault and sexual touching against an 11-year-old girl, who became pregnant and gave birth.
     
    Roy, 32, was later charged with the similar crimes against a 15-year-old.
     
    The assaults took place between 2013 and last year in Trois-Rivieres, Que., about 150 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
