sex offender
Paul Mukendi is best known for his sex crime convictions and for fleeing Quebec justice by taking refuge in the Democratic Republic of Congo in August.
He was first sentenced in 2020 to eight years in prison for sexual assault on a minor. In his absence, he received an additional two-year sentence for another assault last December.
Carmen Mukendi was arrested by the SPVQ for the first time on September 8. She was accused of making comments on Facebook about an alleged victim of her husband despite a publication ban.
Mme Mukendi had been released on a promise to appear, but arrested again the following month.
The SPVQ had been informed that she was in possession of plane tickets to go to Paris on October 14 with her 14-month-old child and feared that she was trying to evade justice.
On December 6, Carmen Mukendi appeared with three other devotees of the Word of Life Evangelical Center; Cedric Malayi, Stephanie Milliard and Pierrick Tardif.
They have all been accused of harassing an alleged victim of Pastor Mukendi, thus violating a court order.
