Who is James Dolan? Rangers owner sued for sexual assault, trafficking
The New York Knicks of the NBA and the New York Rangers of the NHL, two of the most valuable professional sports teams in North America, are owned by James Dolan. Madison Square Garden is host to both teams’ home games.
A Tennessee woman accused Dolan of human trafficking and making unwelcome sexual advances on her filed a complaint against him on Tuesday. The Azoff Company and disgraced and imprisoned director Harvey Weinstein were also mentioned in the case.
The woman said she was hired as a massage therapist for a rock-and-roll concert tour featuring the Eagles and Dolan’s band, JD & the Straight Shot.
“James Dolan manipulated me, brought me to California to abuse me, and then set me up for a vicious attack by Weinstein,” Kellye Croft said in a statement after filing the lawsuit.
Dolan, the CEO of the Madison Square Garden Company and Sphere Entertainment, denied the allegations through a statement from his attorney.

“There is absolutely no merit to any of the allegations against Mr. Dolan,” Dolan’s attorney, E. Danya Perry, said in a statement. “Kellye Croft and James Dolan had a friendship. The references to Harvey Weinstein are simply meant to inflame and appear to be plagiarized from prior cases against Mr. Weinstein. These claims reflect an act of retaliation by an attorney who has brought multiple cases against Mr. Dolan and has not won, and cannot win, a judgment against him.
