Judge Dismisses Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Against James Dolan and Harvey Weinstein

The federal judge ruled insufficient evidence of a commercial exchange for sex, but sexual battery claims can still be pursued.

Kellye Croft's lawsuit alleged that James Dolan pressured her into sex and arranged a meeting where Harvey Weinstein assaulted her.
Judge Percy Anderson found Croft's allegations did not meet the federal definition of sex trafficking.
Croft's attorneys plan to appeal the decision, arguing the ruling misinterprets federal sex trafficking law.
The judge dismissed sexual battery and sexual assault claims due to lack of jurisdiction following the trafficking claim dismissal.
Croft's legal team will continue to pursue sexual battery claims against Dolan and Weinstein in state court.
