A woman has alleged that New York Knicks owner James Dolan sexually assaulted her a decade ago and then set her up to be molested by now-imprisoned film producer Harvey Weinstein, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles.
When the tour traveled to Los Angeles, Dolan flew Croft there even though almost no tour members signed up for massage appointments, the lawsuit states.
When she told Dolan of the alleged attack, he neither seemed surprised nor offered to help her report the assault to police, she alleges.
Croft alleges that Dolan knew about Weinstein's misconduct toward women and told her "we all know" that Weinstein "has problems."
Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York that is under appeal.
