Summary
- A federal lawsuit against New York Knicks owner James Dolan alleging sexual assault a decade ago has been dismissed by a U.S. district judge.
- The judge ruled that the plaintiff failed to plausibly allege a commercial sex act under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.
- Claims against Dolan and Harvey Weinstein were declined based on state law, not federal law.
- Lawyers for the plaintiff disagreed with the decision, while Dolan’s spokesperson called the lawsuit a “malicious attempt” by an unscrupulous law firm.
