Federal Judge Dismisses Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Against James Dolan and Harvey Weinstein

Plaintiff Kellye Croft plans to appeal the decision and continue pursuing sexual battery claims against both men.

  • The lawsuit, filed by massage therapist Kellye Croft in January, accused Dolan and Weinstein of sex trafficking and sexual assault.
  • Judge Percy Anderson dismissed the sex trafficking claim with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.
  • Croft's attorneys argue that the decision misinterprets federal sex trafficking laws and plan to appeal.
  • Additional claims of sexual battery and aiding and abetting sexual assault against Dolan, as well as sexual assault by Weinstein, were dismissed without prejudice and can be refiled.
  • Weinstein, currently serving a prison sentence for previous convictions, denies all allegations, as does Dolan.
