Olympic Champ Myriam Bedard Gets Bail on Parental Child Abduction Charge
Posted on: Friday, 5 January 2007, 12:00 CST
QUEBEC (CP) - Olympic champion Myriam Bedard has been given bail on a charge of parental child abduction charge involving her 12-year-old daughter.
Bedard's appearance in a Quebec City courtroom today came a day after she returned home following nearly two weeks of incarceration in the United States.
She was given bail with conditions, including supervised visits with her daughter, not being allowed to leave Quebec and surrendering her passport.
Bedard's lawyers contend she did not breach a custody agreement when she took her daughter Maude to the United States on Oct. 3.
Bedard, who was denied bail by a U.S. judge shortly after her arrest in Maryland, waived her right to an extradition hearing.
The two countries reached an agreement last Friday for her return to Quebec to face the criminal charges but Bedard accused Canadian officials of dragging their feet in bringing her back.
