Here’s the latest on Gilbert Rozon based on recent reporting.
-
In May 2026, reports certified Rozon agreed to pay a total of about $930,000 to nine complainants, effectively waiving his right to appeal. This settlement followed a March 2026 court ruling ordering Rozon to pay around $880,000 to eight of the plaintiffs for sexual assaults.[1][6]
-
The civil case against Rozon, involving nine women alleging sexual assault or misconduct, has been a long-running matter that began during the #MeToo era. Rozon has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, while his lawyers characterized the allegations as part of a broader pursuit to find Quebec’s “Harvey Weinstein.” This framing appeared in coverage of the 2024–2025 proceedings and subsequent updates.[2][5]
-
The trial and related legal actions have attracted substantial media attention in Canada, with outlets such as Global News and CTV News providing ongoing coverage of testimonies, cross-examinations, and settlement developments. The coverage notes the plaintiffs’ ongoing pursuit of damages well into 2025 and updates on judgments in 2026.[5][8]
-
Context on case outcomes: a Quebec Superior Court decision issued in March 2026 affirmed damages totaling about $880,000 to eight accusers, and a separate settlement in May 2026 allocated additional funds to the plaintiffs and a charitable contribution. The financial figures reflect separate stages of the case—court-awarded damages and later settlements.[6]
