MONTREAL — A second accuser is on the stand today at the civil trial involving allegations of sexual assault against former Just for Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon.
Guylaine Courcelles alleges that Rozon sexually assaulted her in 1987 at his home in the Montreal suburb of Outremont when she was 22 years old and Rozon was in his 30s.
The court heard Rozon suggested drinks at a bar but ended up bringing Courcelles back to his upscale home, where he convinced her to stay over in a guest room after a night of drinks and food. Courcelles is seeking $1.9 million in damages as part of a nearly $14-million civil lawsuit brought against the Quebec impresario by nine women who sued Rozon, 70, individually.
