New criminal charges were filed Wednesday against Montreal billionaire Robert Miller, who is now accused of sexual contact with a young girl under the age of 14.
Posted at 5:05 p.m.
The new charges were laid following the work of investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM). In addition to sexual contact with the young girl under 14, there is question of sexual exploitation of the same victim during her adolescence, in the 1990s, and of obtaining sexual services from a minor, always the even.
Robert Miller, founder of the multinational Future Electronics which he sold to a Taiwan group for more than five billion dollars last year, had already been arrested last May for sexual crimes allegedly committed against 10 victims. Since then, he has been facing 21 counts of sexual assault, sexual exploitation in a context of authority and obtaining sexual services from a minor. Eight of the alleged victims were under the age of 18. The identities of all women are protected by publication bans.
In another case, Robert Miller is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2016 in Montreal.
The octogenarian also faces a class action request and several individual civil suits. Up to a hundred women came forward as victims.
Mr. Miller has always denied the accusations against him and claims that they are motivated by greed.
