Model sues former Weinstein associate for alleged rape.

Former model and founder of Model Alliance, Sara Ziff, has filed a lawsuit alleging that she was raped by Fabrizio Lombardo, a onetime associate of Harvey Weinstein, in 2001. The suit also named Weinstein, Disney, and Miramax as defendants, saying they "were negligent or recklessly indifferent to the harm that Lombardo inflicted." Ziff filed a police report in 2017, but no charges were filed. The lawsuit comes after the Adult Survivor's Act passed last year, which extended the time adult sex crime victims can bring civil claims that would otherwise have expired under the statute of limitations.

Model Sues Disney and Miramax Over Alleged Rape by Weinstein Associate

Fabrizio Lombardo, a former associate of Harvey Weinstein, has been accused of rape by Sara Ziff, the founder of the Model Alliance. The lawsuit alleges that Lombardo assaulted Ziff in a New York City hotel in 2001 when she was 19. Ziff is suing Lombardo, as well as Weinstein, Disney, and its subsidiaries Buena Vista and Miramax, for abuse and negligence under the Adult Survivors Act. Lombardo has been named in the sexual harassment class action suit brought against the Weinstein Company and numerous related entities in October 2018, but this is the first time he himself has been accused of sexual assault in a court of law.
