At least 15 people have come forward alleging they were sexually abused at a boarding school in Granby in the 1970s, according to the lawyer representing a plaintiff.
A 56-year-old man filed a class-action request Wednesday, alleging he was sexually abused more than 300 hundred times by a priest, Father Claude Lebeau, at Mont-Sacré-Coeur College between 1973 and 1975.
The request was filed against Les Frères Du Sacré-Coeur congregation, which owns the now-secular school.
Robert Kugler, the lawyer for the alleged victim, said over the last 24 hours, he has been getting non-stop calls from other people who say they were sexually assaulted at the same school.
Although many of the people who have come forward claimed they were sexually abused by Lebeau, Kugler says other priests have been accused as well.
