Two former Port Dover altar boys are hoping their multi-million-dollar lawsuits will help others cope with the devastation of sexual abuse.
Trevor Kannawin and Philippe Lauriault, both 22, are each seeking $3.1 million in damages in sexual abuse suits filed yesterday in the Superior Court of Justice in London.
One reason the two men want to share their story is to give other victims the strength to report abuse, London lawyer Rob Talach said at a news conference called to announce the suits.
"Their hope is to save others from the fate they have and will continue to endure for some time to come."
