MONTREAL - Yanick Blondeau, a Montreal man who pled guilty to sexually assaulting twenty women last year, will have to wait until Monday to find out what his punishment will be after his sentencing was put over for a second time on Friday.

This time, the sentencing was delayed because the case's prosecutor, Olivier Charbonneau, was unable to attend the hearing due to illness.

Blondeau, 30, was arrested in July 2009 in the Saint-Leonard area of Montreal following a police investigation that lasted nearly a year.

Blondeau always committed his crimes in the same manner; he approached his victims from behind and touched their chests before fleeing on a bicycle. He also occasionally exposed his genitals to his victims.

Blondeau had assaulted two more victims right before he was arrested.

Blondeau, who had no criminal record prior to his arrest, was charged with 16 counts of sexual assault and four counts of sexual assault on a person under 16
