This is the best summary I could come up with:


Twenty-eight women have provided sworn affidavits alleging Robert Miller gave them cash and gifts in exchange for sex when they were underage, and they're looking to be added to a class-action lawsuit against the Quebec billionaire.

The sexual encounters allegedly took place over a 20-year period between 1992 and 2012, according to court documents obtained by Radio-Canada.

The class-action lawsuit against Miller and Future Electronics, the company he helped launch, was filed in February by Consumer Law Group.

Earlier this year, CBC News and Radio-Canada spoke to twelve women who said they were paid cash and gifts in exchange for sex with Miller.

The firm representing the lead plaintiff has filed a motion to amend the lawsuit by adding the 28 affidavits.

It also wants to include two more defendants: Sam Joseph Abrams and Raymond Poulet, who are associates of Miller.


I'm a bot and I'm open source!
