How can a corporation be guilty of a sexual act ? Surely there is something else they CAN be charged with.
a lot is explained in page 5.
Well, if you go past the clickbait headline on FR from a blog pimp that doesn’t even bother to put up a brief summary, you’ll see it is a civil action, not a criminal prosecution. And since it’s being set up as class action, you have to wonder if the corporations are colluding with the plaintiff’s counsel to use this to insulate them from future lawsuits.
(As class action rules have been tightened, corporations have found them to be a useful tool. Plaintiff’s attorney will get a few million, class reps may get a few thousand, and everyone else may get a couple of discount tickets to Disneyland and some movie passes. And if victims don’t opt out, they can’t bring their own lawsuits later).
Wasn't there something in Harvey's contract that specified that Disney would pay settlement costs for women who complained about him assaulting them?
In other words, the company knew and built the legal costs of his assaults into the budget.
Am I wrong on this?
The victims are suing the “officials” of the corporation.
How can a corporation be guilty of a sexual act ?
Hence,the RICO charge. A conspiracy by the suit suite to cover up alleged acts of the various directors, producers, actors, and other executives.
I hope the suit wins.
“How can a corporation be guilty of a sexual act ? Surely there is something else they CAN be charged with.”
Simple. They hired and knew, or should have known, of the rapists conduct.
