I know his defense initially in the public reports was like >= Quebec’s low aoc at the time but I feel like this thickens the plot by blowing through that if she’s found to be credible and her evidence admissable. He should definitely update his will and get in to meet with his lawyer if it isn’t like raining or his umbrella man is on the clock today.
Four more women have joined a class-action lawsuit alleging Montreal billionaire Robert Miller regularly paid minors for sex, and one of the newest plaintiffs says she was only 11 years old during her first sexual encounter with him.
“We expect at least 50 people to join the class action,” wrote Jeff Orenstein of Consumer Law Group in an e-mail to Radio-Canada.
On Monday afternoon, the lawyers heading the class-action suit took steps to freeze the billionaire’s assets in order to ensure that the alleged victims would be compensated should they win their case in court.
A few weeks after the Enquête report aired in February, Miller allegedly transferred his luxurious Westmount home, valued at $9.5 million, to a shell company run by his son for the sum of $1.
Orenstein says he has contacted several government agencies, including the Canadian and Quebec justice ministries as well as several members of Parliament, in hopes that regulators will force Future Electronics to deposit the proceeds of its sale in Canada.
“We believe that, if the sale of Future Electronics goes ahead without conditions or constraints, there is a risk that the plaintiffs will not receive compensation, even in the event of a favourable judgment,” he said.

All billionaires are a crime against humanity. It never shocks me the depravity that accompanies their horrific pillaging of the commons.

There’s no fucking way age of consent in Quebec was < 12/13. This guy needs to Epstein himself
Federal age of consent was 14 up until a decade or two ago (16 now), so the age of consent in Quebec was ≥ 14 at the time. The article mentions this.
Lock this guy up so that he never comes into contact with another minor, because I doubt he’s stopped doing this.
