In a shocking turn of events, James Dolan, the CEO of Madison Square Garden Entertainment and owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, has been accused of sexual assault and trafficking in a new lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday. This lawsuit also implicates disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in similar allegations of sexual assault.

The federal complaint, filed by massage therapist Kellye Croft, claims that Dolan and Weinstein separately assaulted her in 2013 and 2014 while she was working as a massage therapist for the band the Eagles. It is important to note that Dolan's own band was opening for the Eagles on their "History of the Eagles - Live in Concert" tour, and Croft was hired by the band to travel with them.

According to the complaint, Dolan first made an appointment with Croft in November 2013, during which he allegedly forced himself on her. The lawsuit states that Dolan was "extremely assertive, and pressured Ms. Croft into unwanted sexual intercourse with him" during a massage. Despite Croft's attempts to end the session, Dolan persisted, treating her resistance as a challenge or game. The situation escalated when Dolan allegedly grabbed Croft's hands, dragging her to a nearby couch and forcing her hands between his knees as he sat down.

Disturbingly, the lawsuit claims that after the initial incident, Dolan, who is over 30 years older than Croft, continued to make sexual advances towards her. The complaint suggests that Croft felt disgusted and terrified by the situation but felt isolated due to the power dynamics at play on the tour. Dolan's attention and promises to take care of her, coupled with his immense influence over everyone's position on the tour, allegedly led Croft to submit to his advances.

Adding another layer of complexity to this case, the lawsuit reveals that at the end of 2013, Croft was invited to join the Eagles on the Los Angeles leg of their tour. However, she was unaware that Dolan and his band would still be the opening act. This revelation raises questions about the potential for continued encounters between Croft and Dolan during this tour.

Representatives for both Dolan and Weinstein have issued statements denying the allegations made against them. It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will unfold and what impact it may have on Dolan's position within the Madison Square Garden Entertainment company and his ownership of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. The gravity of these accusations, coupled with the involvement of Harvey Weinstein, highlights the urgent need for a thorough investigation into these allegations.
