Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against James Dolan
News summary

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Kellye Croft against New York Knicks owner James Dolan and disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, alleging sexual assault and sex trafficking. U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson ruled that Croft failed to adequately allege a commercial sex act under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, leading to the dismissal of that claim with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. However, claims of sexual battery against Dolan and sexual assault by Weinstein were dismissed without prejudice, allowing Croft the opportunity to refile those claims. Croft's attorneys expressed their disagreement with the ruling, stating it undermines protections for sex trafficking survivors and indicating plans to appeal. Dolan's attorney called the lawsuit a malicious attempt to assert false allegations, while Weinstein's representative also denied the claims. The dismissal means Dolan faces no legal repercussions at this time.
