MONTREAL — Another alleged victim of a prominent Quebec businessman accused of exploiting minors and young adults for sex has filed a lawsuit against him.

Montreal-based law firm CaLex filed an $8-million lawsuit Wednesday naming Robert Miller, the company he founded — Future Electronics — two vice-presidents with the firm, and a downtown Montreal hotel where some sexual encounters allegedly took place.

The complainant, identified by the initials A.B., says she was a victim of Miller for nearly 20 years and became dependent on the money and luxury allegedly provided to her by the wealthy businessman.

The lawsuit claims A.B. was a minor from a low-income immigrant family when she was recruited to have sexual relations with Miller in 2001.
