BREAKING: Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin is suing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the federal government and top military and political figures for more than $6 million in damages months after he was acquitted of sexual assault.
A statement of claim filed Wednesday by Fortin's legal team alleges defamation, misfeasance in public office, conspiracy and negligent investigation.
The military's investigation in 2021 looked into a claim that Fortin sexually assaulted a woman more than 30 years ago, when he was a student at the Royal Military College Saint-Jean. "At all material times, the investigation was tainted by considerations of political expediency, by unfairness and by lack of due process," the suit alleges. "Carried out under rushed, politically sensitive circumstances, the die was cast before the investigation was fully and competently completed."The defendants in the lawsuit include a long list of individuals involved in handling his case in 2021.
