Robert Miller was charged Thursday with several sexual assault charges after Montreal police reopened an investigation into the tech billionaire.
Court records show that the 80-year-old is facing 21 charges involving 10 complainants for offences that allegedly took place between 1994 and 2006. The charges include sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and sexual interference, as well as several offences related to procuring and prostitution.
Some of the alleged victims were minors at the time of the incidents. The names of all of the victims are protected by a publication ban and cannot be revealed.
Montreal police's Insp. David Shane announced at a news conference Thursday that the former head of Future Electronics Inc. was arrested in the afternoon at his home in Westmount and was released with conditions on a promise to appear in court on July 3.
"We'd like to underline the courage of the victims in this long ordeal," Shane said, adding that victims in the Miller case — or any sexual assault case — can call 514-280-8522 to file a report.
In February 2023, CBC/Radio Canada released a documentary that alleged Miller paid teenage girls for sex for more than a decade. The report alleged the tech executive, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, arranged for his associates to bring the minor girls to his Montreal hotel room, as well as his home in Westmount, to perform sexual acts between 1994 to 2006.
He has denied the allegations, and stepped down as the chairman and CEO of his company the day after the allegations surfaced.
