Ortis is being held in an Ottawa jail as his complex case proceeds, charged with Security of Information Act violations, breach of trust and a computer-related offence.
The statement of claim filed in Ontario Superior Court last Thursday by three people who worked under Ortis says he belittled them, undermined their value and work, and caused significant distress and mental suffering.
The three employees behind the lawsuit have been advised "the RCMP now believes that Mr. Ortis systematically targeted them and attacked their careers as part of his larger plan to misappropriate their work and use it for personal gain," the statement of claim says.
Further, an independent report commissioned by the RCMP, provided in redacted form to the three plaintiffs in June, concluded "a failure in leadership occurred at all levels of senior management in the handling of the concerns and complaints against Mr. Ortis," the claim says.
