Cardinal Marc Ouellet targeted in assault allegations

Cardinal Marc Ouellet is the target of allegations of assault, and his name is on a list that has been made public as part of a class action lawsuit, reports Radio-Canada.

Approximately 80 members of the clergy seem to appear in the documents.

The class action seem to involve more than a hundred victims who were, for the most part, minors when the alleged events occurred.

The allegations against Ouellet are seemingly coming from a woman, anonymous at this point, who said she had completed an internship as a pastoral worker between 2008 and 2010.

No criminal charges have been brought against the man who many experts see as a possible successor to the pope.
