The Hollywood Reporter covers our recent victory on behalf of Kaja Sokola, who has alleged that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old, and that his employers, Disney and Miramax, negligently supervised Weinstein. In a comprehensive decision that is the first of its kind, the trial court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Kevin Mintzer and co-counsel made the following statement: “Today, the Court’s decision corrected an erroneous federal court interpretation of New York law on negligent supervision that has contributed to the denial of justice to Weinstein survivors and other sexual assault survivors. We look forward to proceeding to discovery and trial on Ms. Sokola’s claims.”
