MONTREAL --
A second civil suit has been filed against Gilbert Rozon.
This time, the fallen comedy mogul is facing a $1.7 million civil suit from director Lyne Charlebois, who is accusing him of raping her in 1982 when she was 24 years old.
Lyne Charlebois is one of the organizers of the group Les Courageuses, which tried unsuccessfully to obtain authorization to file a class action against Gilbert Rozon.
The assault allegedly occurred when Charlebois was beginning her career as a photographer. She had an appointment with Rozon to discuss a photography contract and came to his office with her portfolio. She said Gilbert Rozon greeted her, but postponed their discussion until the evening. He picked her up at her home and had dinner with her and her partner.
