Two Halifax law firms are exploring the possibility of filing a civil lawsuit related to claims of sexual assault against former university professor Wayne Hankey.
McKiggan Hebert and Wagners Law Firm are both working with people who have come forward as possible complainants.
Hankey, 76, who taught at both the University of King s College and Dalhousie University for decades, is already facing three criminal charges.
Two are sexual assault charges one in connection with an incident that occurred on the King s campus in 1988 and another that dates back to 1982 and the third is an indecent assault charge related to multiple incidents that took place between 1977 and 1979.
