💨 Abstract

Oscar-nominated filmmaker James Toback has been ordered to pay $1.6 billion in damages to 40 women who accused him of sexual assault, false imprisonment, coercion, and psychological abuse. The trial, which began in 2022, saw the women testify about incidents dating back to the 1980s. Toback, known for films like Bugsy and The Pick-up Artist, strongly denies the claims.
