A billionaire dubbed ‘Canada‘s Jeffrey Epstein‘ will face a class action suit after he was accused of sexually assaulting girls as young as 11 as part of an organized ‘prostitution system.’
Robert Miller, 81, allegedly paid minors for sex between 1994 and 2006 and recruited them with the assistance of employees from his company, Future Electronics.
This week, Quebec Superior Court Judge Catherine Piché ruled that a class action launched by three of Miller’s alleged victims could proceed.
‘These extremely serious acts allegedly took place over several years, when they were between the ages of 11 and 17,’ she wrote in her decision, according to CBA.
‘The court should not, at this stage, consider the merits of the dispute and it should take the facts as proven, unless they appear improbable or manifestly inaccurate.’
The class action has been launched by three women who allege they were victims of Miller, and also targets Future Electronics.
If the class action is successful, Miller could be ordered to hand over up to $150million in damages.
Lawyer for the plaintiffs Jeff Orenstein told the court he’d been approached by 51 alleged victims.
