MONTREAL — Montreal billionaire Robert Miller is facing criminal charges of sexual misconduct involving a new complainant who was under the age of 14 when the alleged offences began.
The 81-year-old founder of Future Electronics was arrested in May on 21 sex-related counts involving 10 other complainants, many of them minors at the time of the alleged offences between 1994 and 2016.
Miller's case was in court today and he faces three additional charges of sexual interference with a person under the age of 16, sexual exploitation of a minor and obtaining sexual services from a minor.A Quebec court judge set Miller's next court date for Feb. 25 to determine whether he wants to be tried by a jury or in front of a judge alone.
Miller, who has denied the allegations, is battling Parkinson's disease and his lawyers have said reviewing evidence with him is complicated because he is extremely ill and bedridden.
