A former undercover police informant is suing the federal government and the RCMP for abuse he says he suffered while working as an underage operative in the Maritimes.
Paul Derry started working undercover at the age of 15. At 17, he says he infiltrated a child sex ring operating out of a motel in Moncton.
Now, more than 40 years later, Derry has launched a civil lawsuit for the abuse he says he suffered while working for the police. Derry said the experience has left him with questions.
“What were you thinking when you put a 17-year-old, or even a couple of years before a 15-year-old, what were you thinking to use somebody like that?” Derry said in an interview earlier this week.
The language in his lawsuit is even more blunt.
“The essence of the original claim is the RCMP sent a minor into a location where they knew minor Paul Derry was going to be molested.”
