The minor’s identity is protected by a court-ordered publication ban. The charge alleges the assault took place between April and May.

In all, Keri faces eight new charges. They include assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, criminal harassment and uttering threats. His wife is the complainant in each of the charges not related to the minor.

Appearing via videoconference from detention, Keri lowered his head as lawyers discussed his mounting cases in court Wednesday.

The St-Laurent native was charged with assaulting his wife in July and later charged with breaking his conditions in that case. Wednesday’s charges stem from acts alleged to have taken place before he was first arrested.
