Cardinal Gérald Lacroix of Québec, a senior adviser to Pope Francis, has been accused of sexual assault in a class-action suit in Canada.
The cardinal has been accused by a plaintiff, whose name hasn’t been revealed, of sexually touching her without her consent on different occasions in 1987 and 1988, when she was 17 years old.
The allegations are part of a class-action lawsuit against the Catholic Archdiocese of Québec, authorized in 2022.
