Police sources told Radio-Canada that the allegation involves an incident that happened on June 14. Duplessis allegedly requested the service of a prostitute, who went to his chalet accompanied by a female driver. One of the two women recognized him, and Duplessis allegedly cancelled the encounter without paying them.
The women insisted on being paid and made three attempts to collect the money.
Duplessis filed a complaint with Quebec provincial police, a fact he confirmed this morning without addressing the details or circumstances or relationship he had with the accused.
He also said an arrest had been made in the case.
Duplessis said he will not resign in the wake of the latest scandal at Laval city hall, which has been plagued by corruption investigation raids and resignations in recent months.
