Reverend Allen Tysick, known to the homeless in Victoria simply as Reverend Al, says he was served Wednesday in a $2 million lawsuit filed by a Carleton University professor.
Forty-five year old Collett Tracey alleges she was sexually exploited as a teenager by Tysick when he led a youth group at an Ottawa United Church.
In March of 2007, another Ontario woman, Jean Perkins, launched a $1 million lawsuit alleging Tysick sexually abused her over a period of two years in the 1990's.
Tysick says he's continuing to work as executive director of Our Place, a downtown Victoria drop-in centre and has hired an Ottawa lawyer to represent him in both civil suits.
