More than three dozen women have filed a lawsuit in New York against writer and director James Toback, accusing him of sexual abuse.
The lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan on Monday, comes after New York state last month instituted a one-year window for people to file lawsuits over sexual assault claims even if they took place decades ago, waiving statutes of limitations.As the Canadian national soccer teams head to their respective FIFA World Cups, Derek Van Diest is on the scene to cover all the action.
In 2018, Los Angeles prosecutors said the statutes of limitations had expired in five cases they reviewed, and they declined to bring criminal charges against Toback.tap here to see other videos from our teamInformation on attorneys or representatives for Toback was not available; he has denied the allegations made against him.
