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.
