HALIFAX—It’s a shadow that has hung over a youth detention centre, a modest ring of green-roofed institutional buildings in Nova Scotia’s picturesque Annapolis Valley, for decades. The lawyer dealing with the class action has said the number of victims might well exceed 200. Police said, based on the investigation to date, they expected as many as 200 victims to come forward to make statements. “They revolve around the same set of allegations,” he said Wednesday of the RCMP investigation and the 2019 class action. At this point, Dull, estimates he has talked to more than 200 men who spent time at the centre, who have stories of sexual assault.
