Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet has denied that he sexually assaulted a woman more than a 10 years ago during his tenure as archbishop of Quebec City, a day after the Vatican said there was “insufficient” evidence to open an investigation.
Ouellet was named in a class-action lawsuit, first made public this week, that accuses clergy and staff members of the Quebec Catholic archdiocese of committing acts of sexual assault since the 1940s.
