BTN News: Greek Billionaire Alki David was Daniel Plato’s former employee, accused of sexually assaulting him and now is compelled to pay him $900 million in the groundbreaking legal verdict. The case, which wrapped up in Los Angeles had the jury rule 100% in favor of Jane Doe, the pseudonymous plaintiff who sued David.
Jane Doe, in court documents filed last week and cited by reporters, is a model who did work for Hologram USA (part of David’s enterprises) and said she was raped and harassed repeatedly by David over a three-year period starting in February 2016. The jury sounded the message that it believed Newton had written a book with claims of one of the largest sexual assault judgments in history,” said Gary Dordick, Newton’s lawyer.
During the trial it emerged that David had been cited for convictions concerning similar behavior in the past, and hit with steep fines as a result. That has cost him some $70 million in damages from a series of more than 4,000 individual lawsuits he and his businesses have faced from disgruntled customers.
Key, also a figure in the hologram and web TV environments, has made headlines based not only on business successes, but also due to issues with his behaviour that carried out by Alki David. David as ‘virile personality’Bryan arrived as a “dynamic” media kingpin and billionaire before she became involved in his organization, said the 30-something plaintiff.
The decision may be a turning point in the broader conversation about whether justice can ever really be served in cases of sexual assault that occur within corporate enterprises. Its large fine reflects the fact that such accusations are being taken more seriously by the legal system.
That this verdict is going to be felt through many cases and sectors, further underlines the need for strong workplace protections, alongside a system that offers real accountability. As the legal consequences play out, its determination marks a turning point in the greater trajectory toward justice for survivors of sexual violence.
