Canadian theatre star Albert Schultz sued by 4 women who call him 'serial sexual predator'
-
Description
Four women filed civil lawsuits Wednesday against Albert Schultz, accusing the Canadian actor and artistic director of the Soulpepper Theatre Company of sexual battery and harassment of a sexual nature over a 13-year period.
Toronto-based Soulpepper has also been named in the statements of claim of each lawsuit, which detail allegations of unwanted groping, harassment and sexual remarks in the workplace from 2000 to 2013.
"Albert is a serial sexual predator who…had well-developed methods for targeting actresses and luring them into situations that he considered optimal for sexually harassing and assaulting them," the lawsuits allege, adding that the methods were "facilitated by Soulpepper."
Sexual battery is a term used in civil lawsuits to describe unwanted touching of a sexual nature.
In all, the women in the four statements of claim allege 30 separate incidents, many of them with specific locations and dates.
