Montreal billionaire Robert Miller facing new sex charges involving a minor

Another victim added in sex assault case The prosecution expects a trial date in the sexual assault case against 81-year-old Robert Miller that includes a new minor victim.

Montreal billionaire Robert Miller is facing new criminal charges as he waits to go on trial on several sex offences.

According to court records, he is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday to face new charges related to sexual interference, sexual exploitation, and procuring a person into prostitution involving a girl who was under 14 years old.

The alleged offences span several years, between 1995 and 2000.

Miller, 81, was first charged on May 30 with 21 sex-related offences after Montreal police reopened the case into him. Those charges, which involved 10 complainants, are still before the court.

He has always denied the allegations.

The founder of Future Electronics is also facing allegations in a proposed class-action lawsuit that he paid several minors for sex in the 1990s and 2000s. During a hearing in late November, a lawyer told the court that 51 women have come forward to his firm, but he says the actual number of victims could be as high as 100.

A Superior Court judge has not yet decided whether to allow the lawsuit to proceed.

Miller is suffering from Parkinson's disease and was not present in court for the civil proceedings.
