3 weeks agoSexual assault lawsuit against the estate of artist Norval Morrisseau is dismissed
In the lawsuit filed last year, Jacobson sought C$5m ($3.6m) from the estate in general, aggravated and punitive damages. He alleged Morrisseau reached into his pants and touched him on the buttocks after Morrisseau's assistant suggested he could heal Jacobson's back pain. In an affidavit filed last September, Jacobson acknowledged that Morrisseau suffered from Parkinson's disease, but claimed he was "still able to use his arms and hands in 2006, with assistance".
