Charges laid against billionaire Frank Stronach involve 3 women, date back to 1980: court documents

Sexual assault charges laid against Canadian businessman Frank Stronach involve three women who police allege were victimized in 1980, 1986, and 2023, according to documents recently filed in a Brampton court.

Peel police previously confirmed that the 91-year-old billionaire was arrested earlier this month and charged with rape, indecent assault on a female, forcible confinement, as well as two counts of sexual assault.

Police released few details about the alleged incidents, saying only that the occurred between the 1980s and 2023.

In a statement issued to CTV News Toronto last Friday, Stronach’s lawyer, Brian Greenspan, said his client “categorically denies” the allegations.

“He looks forward to the opportunity to fully respond to the charges and maintain his legacy both (as) a philanthropist and as an icon of the Canadian business community,” Greenspan wrote.

Police said Stronach was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear at a Brampton court at a later date.
