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.
The lawyers leading the class action against Robert Miller, accused of allegedly paying minors for sex, are asking that the billionaire's assets be frozen to ensure that the alleged victims, now 39 in total, are compensated should a judge rule in their favour.Another four women are accusing Montreal businessman Robert Miller of sexually exploiting them when they were minors, including one woman who says she was 11 at the time of the alleged events.
According to her affidavit, the woman who said she was 11 when she first met Miller was recruited in 1999 by two older girls who were looking for virgins for "Bob." She wrote that each meeting netted her numerous gifts and an envelope containing $5,000. The billionaire also wanted to compensate her by paying for trips, "but since I was very young, it was rather complicated.""I told her I'd met a gentleman who was going to help us," she wrote. "The three of us ate together at his place, and he gave us an envelope with $10,000 in it.
"They tried to contact me two or three times, but eventually Bob's lawyer talked to them and they left me alone," she wrote.Since the release of the report, Miller has had several lawsuits filed against him: three individual suits, in which a total of nearly $30 million is sought, and an application for authorization of a class action, for which Consumer Law Group hopes to obtain an average of $4 million per victim.
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. The motion alleges, among other things, that Miller cannot be found. The bailiffs responsible for serving the class action against the billionaire have been unable to contact him and have had to go through his lawyers.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.
