On June 7, the 91-year-old Canadian business magnate Frank Stronach was arrested and charged with sexual assault. On June 26, more charges were brought against him. He’s facing 13 criminal charges from 10 complainants.
News of the charges stirred memories for Vancouver and New York-based writer Jane Boon. In 1986, when she was a 19-year-old student that had a scholarship from Magna MG-T, she had an encounter with Mr. Stronach. While she is not one of the complainants, Boon has been wrestling with the meaning of that night ever since.
Today on the show, The Globe’s transportation reporter Eric Atkins tells us about Frank Stronach and the criminal charges he’s facing. Then, Jane Boon talks about her experiences with Stronach, and how she reflects on that night, more than three decades later.
