Allegations concerning the cardinal first surfaced last summer in a class-action lawsuit against the archdiocese of Quebec
, and last week, one of the complainants revealed her identity and accused the Catholic Church of trying to silence her through “threats and intimidation.”
Paméla Groleau, one of 140 complainants behind the suit, said she initially kept her identity secret to protect her family, her job and her mental health. In the lawsuit, Groleau accused Ouellet of several incidents of sexual assault between 2008 – when she was 23 – and 2010, including sliding his hand down her back and touching her buttocks at an event in Quebec City.
The allegations have not been tested in court, and Ouellet last month countersued Groleau in Quebec Superior Court for defamation, denying the allegations and seeking $100,000 in damages The second allegation was reported this week by the French Catholic weekly Golias Hebdo, which also published a letter with the woman’s name redacted – dated June 23, 2021. In the letter, current Quebec City archbishop Gérald Cyprien Lacroix informed her that her complaint would not be pursued.
