Danny Elfman Sexual Assault Accuser Has Lawsuit Tossed in New Ruling

Danny Elfman convinces judge to reject lawsuit from an anonymous woman who alleged he exposed himself and masturbated over her while she was asleep.

A Los Angeles judge has tossed the sexual assault lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman who alleges composer and musician Danny Elfman groomed and abused her between 1997 and 2002 when she was in her twenties and he was twice her age. In her ruling, the judge found that “no triable issue of fact” existed considering Elfman denied any wrongdoing under oath and Jane Doe admitted she was asleep at the time of the alleged assault. The musician still is facing separate legal claims from Nomi Abadi, a Los Angeles composer who alleges Elfman exposed himself and sexually harassed her in 2016 and then entered into an $830,000 settlement and nondisclosure agreement with her a year later.
