Canadian billionaire, 81, accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls in prostitution ring: report

A Canadian billionaire is facing allegations he sexually abused more than five dozen women when they were children — with the victims alleging they were recruited and paid to participate in his chilling sex ring. 

Robert Miller, the founder of Future Electronics, is accused of repeatedly giving underage girls money and gifts in exchange for sex between 1994 and 2016, Canadian outlets reported, citing that the alleged abuse happened in hotels throughout Montreal. 

Miller was ordered on Friday to fork over two of his million-dollar Montreal homes as part of a lawsuit filed by four of his accusers, who feared the 81-year-old would try to hide his assets as his legal woes worsened.

The four victims, who are suing for millions, challenged that the two homes — worth more than $2 million each — were listed under the names of lawyers for several years, according to The Canadian Press.

“It is troubling to note that Miller, a billionaire, has no bank account in his name,” Justice Serge Gaudet said in Quebec Superior Court, noting a “persistent” pattern of listing his fortune and valuables under other people’s names, the outlet reported.

The women accused the alleged predator of recruiting them as high school students to have sex in exchange for money, describing his prostitution scheme as a “planned system of sexual exploitation” of girls and teens, according to court documents, obtained by Canadian outlets.

One victim alleged she had sex with Miller more than 30 times over two years starting in 1999 when she was 14 years old, according to court documents.

On one occasion, she was given $1,000 to have sex with Miller — who allegedly refused to wear a condom due to a latex allergy — at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel after being pampered with steak and champagne by one of his employees.

The victim said the alleged sexual abuse left her suicidal as she struggled with alcohol and drugs.

Miller, who has denied the allegations, is also facing a separate proposed lawsuit by more than 50 women who reported that he gave them money and gifts in exchange for sex between 1996 and 2006, CBC reported. 

He was also arrested in May on sexual abuse and exploitation charges involving 10 victims, some of whom were minors at the time of the alleged offenses, which occurred between 1994 and 2016.

Miller stepped down from his tech company following a Radio-Canada Enquête report that exposed him for paying minors between the ages of 14 and 17 cash and gifts in exchange for sex between 1994 and 2006, according to CBC. 

The report resulted in dozens of women coming forward to report the abuse they sustained as minors.

Lawyers for the accused creep, who is bedridden with Parkinson’s disease, have attempted to delay the criminal case due to his health, according to Canadian outlets.

His cases will continue in December.
