Raquel Lee Bolleau lawsuit against Disney

Overview

Former child actress Raquel Lee Bolleau has filed a civil negligence lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The suit alleges that while filming the 2001 Disney Channel original movie ‘The Poof Point’, Bolleau was repeatedly sexually assaulted by an unidentified middle-aged male employee.

Bolleau, now 39, claims the assailant provided her with alcohol during production in Salt Lake City and that an assault also occurred during a flight from Utah to California. The complaint alleges that Disney failed to intervene despite the misconduct allegedly occurring within earshot of staff members. The lawsuit further claims the perpetrator made sexually explicit jokes on set around minors.

Subsequent reports indicate that Lee reached a confidential settlement with actor Mark Curry, who played her father in the film, in 2015 involving attorney Gloria Allred. However, the current litigation against Disney does not name Curry as the assailant, referring only to an unidentified employee. Disney has declined to comment on the litigation.
