Read our privacy policy 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. Croft alleges that Dolan knew about Weinstein’s misconduct toward women and told her “we all know” that Weinstein “has problems.” “Indeed, with his comments, Ms. Croft felt that Dolan completely dismissed the gravity of the situation and did not truly care about what his friend had done to her,” the suit states. “But for me, to truly address my trauma, I need to seek accountability.” Dolan, as executive chairman of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., heads the NBA’s Knicks and NHL’s Rangers. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern called the decision to go through with the trial “not a model of intelligent management.” Former Knicks player Charles Oakley sued Dolan after he was forcibly arrested at a game in 2017, though a judge threw out the lawsuit three years later.
