Collège de Montréal, a French‑language post‑secondary institution in Montreal, is being sued by a former student who alleges that a member of the college’s staff committed multiple sexual assaults against students. The lawsuit was filed on Saturday, July 18, 2026, and names the college as the defendant while identifying the plaintiff as a student who attended the institution.
According to the filing, the plaintiff claims that the assaults were carried out by an employee of the college and that the incidents involved several students. The complaint seeks to hold the institution accountable for the alleged actions of its personnel. No further details about the identity of the staff member or the number of victims have been disclosed in the public filing.
Collège de Montréal, which offers programs primarily in French, has not issued a public response to the allegations at the time of publication. The college’s administration is expected to review the lawsuit and determine its next steps. Legal experts note that institutions can be held responsible for the conduct of employees if they are found to have failed to prevent or adequately address misconduct.
The case adds to ongoing conversations about campus safety and the responsibilities of educational institutions to protect students from sexual violence. The outcome of the lawsuit may influence how the college and similar schools in Quebec manage staff oversight and student protection policies. The plaintiff’s legal action underscores the seriousness with which alleged assaults are being pursued in the higher‑education sector.
