Actress Julia Ormond's sexual battery lawsuit against Weinstein has named The Walt Disney Company as a defendant.

Actress Julia Ormond's sexual battery lawsuit against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein could have far-reaching financial implications for The Walt Disney Company, experts have told Newsweek.Earlier this month, Legends of the Fall star Ormond filed her suit in New York's Supreme Court, accusing the onetime producer of sexually assaulting her following a business dinner in 1995.

'States around the country routinely allow adults to sue for abuse that occurred when they were under the age of 18, so this will be one of the first suits of its type in the country where an adult survivor of abuse is suing the perpetrator.'In February, Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison by a Los Angeles judge for the 2013 rape of an actress.
