Radio-Canada's Enquête and CBC's The Fifth Estate made public the stories of several young women who say Robert G. Miller paid them for sex when they were minors, between 1994 and 2006.
One woman's case against Montreal billionaire Robert Miller, who has been accused of paying underage girls with money and gifts in exchange for sex, has been tossed. She received $50,000 during a meeting last year with Miller's representatives.A woman who accused Miller of paying her with cash and gifts in exchange for sex received $50,000 during a meeting last year with the billionaire's lawyer and his associate.
The woman then tried to get in touch with the billionaire, but it was Abrams — described in the documents as Miller's "right hand" — who returned her phone call. After CBC/Radio-Canada's investigative report on Miller was made public, Abrams told the woman, who was living in western Canada at this point, to come to Montreal for a meeting where she would be given money.
Miller's lawyer explained to her what the document meant, who benefited from it and the details of its confidentiality clause, the court ruling states. The court ruled the money was not a gift and there was no negotiation: The deal was made during the meeting in the lawyer's office.The lawyer who represented the woman leading up to last Friday's ruling argued that the concept of consenting through silence did not apply in this case.
