Jean-Claude Rochefort, a self proclaimed men's rights activist, was also arrested 10 years ago and charged with uttering threats on his blog just days before a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the murders.

Police arrested a blogger Friday in connection to a series of posts inciting hatred against women and writing favourably about Marc Lépine — the man who murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique in 1989.
Jean-Claude Rochefort, 70, appeared in court Friday where he was charged with inciting hate against women. This is related to blog posts he wrote under a pseudonym.
His arrested came just hours before a ceremony commemorating the victims of the Polytechnique massacre.
Rochefort was also arrested 10 years ago and charged with uttering threats on his blog just days before a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the murders. Police say he’s an anti-feminist and an admirer of Lépine.
Back then, in posts published under the alias Rick Flashman — who called himself a men’s rights activist — Rochefort wrote that Lépine is a folk hero whose actions are part of “chess match” against feminism.
These latest charges come after an investigation involving detectives from the department’s Prévention et sécurité urbaine unit along with technicians from its cyber crimes division. Police confiscated computer equipment from Rocherfort’s home.
Rochefort will be detained until his bail hearing Monday.
