The lawsuit, filed on Friday, was brought in state court under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which gives accusers a one-year window to sue over alleged non-recent sexual abuse, even if statutes of limitations have expired. Warner Bros Pictures, which distributed the film Arthur, was also named as a defendant, along with other companies involved in the film production. They were accused of negligence and of aiding and abetting Brand by tolerating his misconduct on the set. Warner Bros did not respond to a request for comment from the Reuters news agency.
Afterwards, the complaint alleges, Brand followed the woman into a restroom, where he again pulled down his pants, then shoved her into a stall and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
