Thomas J. Henry, law firm among defendants in lawsuit filed by alleged sexual assault victim
failed to adequately supervise director Robert “Bobby” T. Herrera of St. Louis, Mo., and didn’t provide a safe working environment for her.
“Plaintiff’s attorneys — apparently attempting to intimidate an extremely successful lawyer and looking for a ‘deep pocket’ from whom they could extract a settlement — nonetheless persisted in these demonstrably false claims,” Davis said. Henry and his firm are confident they will be “vindicated,” Davis added.
The woman, who was 27 at the time of the alleged assault and is now 29, reported the incident to the Austin Police Department. It produced a lengthy police report that said the woman submitted to a sexual assault forensic exam.The Travis County district attorney’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Despite the top-dollar budget Henry lavished on the rest of his festival and film production, was told that there was no money to cover her lodging and travel expenses to work on the festival’s film crew,” her complaint alleges. “Herrera prevailed upon her to further save money in the budget by canceling the Airbnb she had reserved and staying in the spare room of his hotel suite.”
“Herrera replied, ‘I’m in love with you and have been since I met you. If I met you five years earlier, my whole life would be different,’” the lawsuit says.
