Just For Laughs has announced a restructuring after nine women came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual assault against its now former president. The women are accusing Gilbert Rozon of misconduct spanning three decades, according to French-language newspaper Le Devoir and radio station 98.5 FM. After hearing about the allegations, Coderre said it is important that victims feel they can come forward. Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says he was shocked to learn of the allegations against Gilbert Rozon, head of Just For Laughs and the city's 375th celebrations. Late Wednesday, Montreal police issued a tweet encouraging victims of harassment or sexual assault to report it.
