Victims of serial sexual abusers should consider filing their own lawsuits instead of getting involved in class actions, says an Ontario lawyer who has represented people assaulted by priests.

“Some of it has to be based upon your personal philosophy; I just don’t believe in class-action suits for victims of sexual abuse, and particularly childhood victims who have been abused by priests,” Paul Ledroit said Tuesday.

“I can’t think of a worse thing that you could do to a child.”
