Second Woman Sues Musician Danny Elfman for Sexual Misconduct and Abuse

Accuser alleges abusive acts occurred from 1997 to 2002 during mentor relationship, and lawsuit coincides with another case where Elfman failed to pay $85,000 from a $830,000 harassment settlement.

A second woman, known as Jane Doe XX, has accused musician Danny Elfman of sexual misconduct. She alleges the abuse occurred from 1997 to 2002, and has filed a lawsuit against Elfman and his company, Musica de la Muerta.
Jane Doe XX claims Elfman regularly exposed himself to her and admitted to sexual acts in her presence without her knowledge. Upon discovering this behavior, she terminated their professional relationship.
The lawsuit coincides with another case where Elfman is accused of failing to pay $85,000 from an $830,000 settlement to a musician named Nomi Abadi, who also alleged sexual abuse by Elfman.
Both women describe a similar pattern of abuse, having sought mentorship from Elfman as young professionals in the industry. They argue this constituted a breach of trust and misuse of power.
Elfman, known for his work in composing hit TV shows and movies like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "The Simpsons", denies all allegations of sexual misconduct and is prepared to defend his case in the court.
