A class-action lawsuit alleging sexual abuse at a former Catholic boarding school in Granby has been expanded to include the names of 11 religious brothers.
The lawsuit was initially launched earlier this month by an anonymous 56-year-old man, who says he was sexually abused more than 300 times at Mont-Sacré-Coeur College between 1973 and 1975.
His lawsuit named one priest, Brother Claude Lebeau, a member of the Les Frères Sacré Du Sacré-Coeur congregation, which ran the school at the time.
The claims in the lawsuit have not been tested in court. Lebeau is believed to be living in the Montreal area.
Since the lawsuit was launched, several more people have come forward saying they were abused at the school between 1940 and 1980, the plaintiff’s lawyer said.
