Overview
- Quebec Superior Court, which issued its decision Tuesday, ordered Rozon to pay more than $880,000 to eight of nine women who accused him of sexual assault and misconduct.
- Justice Chantal Tremblay released a written judgment after a 10-month civil trial that heard testimony from the plaintiffs and other witnesses.
- The court rejected Rozon’s four defamation counterclaims against some accusers and ordered him to pay the women’s legal costs.
- The nine women had sought $14 million for alleged incidents from 1980 to 2004, and all except Mary Sicari received damages.
- Criminal proceedings took a different path, including a not-guilty verdict in Annick Charrette’s 1980 case, yet Tuesday’s ruling awarded her $95,000 in civil damages.
