The former bookkeeper for a disbarred Windsor lawyer testified Tuesday her boss forced her to submit to beatings in the nude whenever she made a mistake at the office. Kristine Robinson-Limanek, who once ran in a provincial election in a riding won by Ontario's Finance Minister, said it was her lingering fear of Scott Sullivan that made her deny earlier at his fraud trial that she had sexual contact with him. If she messed up at work, she said Mr. Sullivan would take her back to her home, force her to strip and assault her "with a stick." She wrote a letter to Superior Court Justice Thomas Carey and lawyers for both sides over the weekend, which she read aloud in court Tuesday. "[Mr. Sullivan] told me I owed him for everything," Ms. Robinson-Limanek read. "He beat me if I made a mistake at work. Fear motivated everything I did. I found myself paralyzed by fear." Ms. Robinson-Limanek is a key Crown witness as the bookkeeper who worked for several years for the prominent real estate and corporate lawyer. Mr. Sullivan is alleged to have diverted thousands of dollars from his firm's accounts for his private use and to have bilked a number of clients. He has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of fraud, document forgery and breach of trust for the alleged improper handling of about $300,000 of clients' money. The Law Society of Upper Canada disbarred Mr. Sullivan in May for allegedly misappropriating more than $1-million of his clients' money.
