MONTREAL—A Quebec judge has authorized a class-action lawsuit against former Just For Laughs head Gilbert Rozon for the alleged harassment and sexual assault of several women. Quebec Superior Court has authorized a class-action lawsuit against former Just For Laughs head Gilbert Rozon for alleged sexual assault and harassment. The judge noted that class-actions have proven an effective way to ensure victims have access to justice in sexual assault cases. The case is unusual, the judge noted, because most other class actions related to sexual assault are directed at religious or educational institutions. His legal team said Tulasne, the only identified member of the group, contradicted herself while recounting the alleged assault.
