I donโ€™t get it. He is a billionaire that can throw money around to have sex with anyone he wants. Why not choose folks that are hot and over 18? All the money in the world and he is messing with minors. Itโ€™s just stupid and evil.

Because that would be legal and not taboo which is boring to someone who can have everything

Because he's a pedophile and the only thing that separates him from other creeps like that is a pile of money

It's insecurity. They do it to justify that they have power. That's what is getting them off. These rich assholes are not attracted to under age girls. They don't even care what they look like. It's an act of dominance.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Twenty-eight women have provided sworn affidavits alleging Robert Miller gave them cash and gifts in exchange for sex when they were underage, and they're looking to be added to a class-action lawsuit against the Quebec billionaire.

The sexual encounters allegedly took place over a 20-year period between 1992 and 2012, according to court documents obtained by Radio-Canada.

The class-action lawsuit against Miller and Future Electronics, the company he helped launch, was filed in February by Consumer Law Group.

Earlier this year, CBC News and Radio-Canada spoke to twelve women who said they were paid cash and gifts in exchange for sex with Miller.

The firm representing the lead plaintiff has filed a motion to amend the lawsuit by adding the 28 affidavits.

It also wants to include two more defendants: Sam Joseph Abrams and Raymond Poulet, who are associates of Miller.
