Former Disney Channel star alleges she was sexually abused at 14 after being told to ‘bond’ with employee
A former Disney Channel star made disturbing allegations about her time on set in a new lawsuit.
Raquel Lee Bolleau claimed that an adult male employee sexually abused her when she was just 14 – after Disney personnel allegedly encouraged her to "bond" with him.
The alleged abuse began during production of the 2001 Disney Channel movie "The Poof Point," after personnel directed her to spend time with the adult employee.
According to the complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, the man supplied the then-14-year-old with alcohol and repeatedly sexually assaulted her during filming.
After the alleged sexual assault, Bolleau recalled the employee telling her: "You're old enough. You can handle it."
Bolleau claimed she returned to set smelling of alcohol, vomiting and visibly changed after the alleged assault, but Disney personnel failed to investigate how a 14-year-old got alcohol or seek medical care for her. Instead, the complaint claimed, an executive branded her "out of control," said the movie had gone "haywire" and told her representatives Disney was "extremely upset."
On another occasion, an on-set Disney executive producer allegedly repeatedly told Bolleau she "need[ed] Jesus" and told her mother, "your daughter has a demon inside her," according to the complaint.
Bolleau alleged Disney repeatedly separated her from her guardian despite California protections requiring a guardian of a performer under 16 to remain within "sight or sound" of the child.
According to the complaint, her guardian could not watch Bolleau while she filmed or accompany her to wardrobe and makeup, and production personnel once told the guardian, "we do not even need you on set." Bolleau claimed those practices left her without adequate adult supervision and gave her alleged abuser unrestricted access to her.

Bolleau alleged the employee also sexually harassed and touched her in front of others on set. She claimed he regularly gave her unsolicited hugs, rubbed his genitals against her and whispered comments including "last night was so good" while cast members were still wearing microphones. Bolleau alleged sound technicians could hear many of the comments, but no one intervened or asked what the adult employee was saying to her.
"Instead of protecting and supporting its minor employee who was being repeatedly raped, sexually assaulted, sexually abused, and harassed, Disney covered up Mr. Doe’s abuse, and blamed Ms. Bolleau for the impact of Mr. Doe’s horrific misconduct," Bolleau's lawyers wrote.
"Disney’s egregious role in Mr. Doe’s abuse of Ms. Bolleau is part of a broader, institutional, and systemic pattern of institutional and individual failures at Disney that extends far beyond 'The Poof Point.'"
Bolleau claimed the alleged abuse continued after filming wrapped. According to the complaint, Disney booked Bolleau in first class while seating her guardian in economy on the flight back to California.
Bolleau alleged the employee told her to sit next to him and bring a blanket to cover them before sexually assaulting her during the flight and continuing until their row began to deboard at Los Angeles International Airport.

Bolleau sued The Walt Disney Company, specifically alleging Disney failed to protect her from sexual abuse when she was a 14-year-old actress. She claimed the company ignored warning signs, violated child-actor protections and failed to properly supervise her alleged abuser. She is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, along with attorneys’ fees, costs and interest.
"Over the last decade, countless child actors have come forward to bravely share their experiences of abuse by adults in entertainment," Bolleau's lawyers, Doug Wigdor and Jane Kim, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"As former government prosecutors, our message to the entertainment industry is simple: This conduct is inexcusable, and those involved – directly or indirectly – must be held accountable."

Bolleau began acting as a child, with an early television appearance on "Malcolm & Eddie" before getting her breakout opportunity on Nickelodeon’s "The Amanda Show."
She appeared as a regular performer during the sketch comedy series’ first season alongside Amanda Bynes. She subsequently moved into Disney projects, playing Marie, the sister of Tahj Mowry’s Eddie, in "The Poof Point."

She went on to voice Nubia Gross, one of the intimidating Gross Sisters, on "The Proud Family" from 2001 to 2005.
Bolleau claimed Disney threatened and did cancel her role in a production following the alleged sexual assault in 2001 in the lawsuit.
Disney did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Reagan-era official warns ‘red-green alliance’ has shared goal of ‘destroying’ America
A former Reagan administration national security official is sounding the alarm over what he calls a growing "red-green alliance" between radical Islamists and far-left socialists, warning the unlikely ideological partners are joining forces around a shared anti-American agenda.
Frank Gaffney sat down with Fox News Digital to discuss the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America and what he believes are the true intentions and potential threats to U.S. national security.
"One can argue that the Sharia supremacists are pursuing communism with a God, or at least a patina, a veneer of religiosity to it," Gaffney explained. "Fundamentally, they're at the hip in totalitarianism. Yes, with different outcomes in mind, but still perfectly willing to make common cause for the immediate shared objective of destroying the United States, which stands in the way of either of their ambitions."
"So that's where we find ourselves at the moment — with a red-green axis that seeks the destruction of our country and is making that a goal being pursued now in the Democratic Party."
Gaffney served as assistant secretary of defense for international security policy under former President Ronald Reagan and graduated from Georgetown University with a Master of Arts in international studies from Johns Hopkins University. He founded the Center for Security Policy think tank in Washington, D.C., in 1988 and currently serves as the president of the Institute for the American Future.
The "red-green alliance" describes the political cooperation between far-left movements, represented by the color red, and Islamist movements, represented by green.
ISRAEL, JEWS TARGETED WORLDWIDE AS WELL-FUNDED LEFTIST, ISLAMIST GROUPS JOIN FOR ‘NAKBA 78’ PROTESTS
The Reagan-era official argued that while the far left and Islamists have different ultimate goals, they share a common adversary in the American constitutional system, which he said stands in the way of both movements’ ambitions.
These concepts were recently debated during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing titled "Hidden in Plain Sight: Confronting the Muslim Brotherhood Network in America" that took place earlier this month.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, questioned Kyle Shideler, director and senior analyst for homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy, about whether the Muslim Brotherhood partners with groups such as the Democratic Socialists of America and characterized that relationship as the "Red-Green Alliance."
COUNTERTERRORISM EXPERT WARNS ABDUL EL-SAYED SENATE BID RAISES HOMELAND SECURITY CONCERNS
Shideler agreed with Cruz's characterization and said he has seen evidence that the "red-green alliance" shares a "revolutionary objective" to squash Americanism, including the Constitution.
"This threat cannot be ignored because it is politically inconvenient," Cruz posted to X. "A counterterrorism expert testified that the Muslim Brotherhood and the DSA are united by a shared hatred of America — and a revolutionary objective to overthrow the U.S. Constitution."
AGITATORS UNITED BY CHINESE MONEY, HATE FOR AMERICA TARGET DATA CENTERS, EXPERTS WARN
Gaffney agreed with the sentiment during his interview with Fox News Digital, taking it one step further to say the two movements are "perfectly willing to make common cause" around what he described as an "immediate shared objective of destroying the United States."
"What they have in common is much more important than their differences," Gaffney explained.
The "red-green alliance" has also been scrutinized by some Muslim critics of radical Islamism.
In May, Fox News Digital spoke with Dalia Ziada, a Muslim scholar who was forced to flee Egypt after criticizing Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. She said that the nexus of radical Islamism with the radical left in the "red-green alliance" threatened the U.S., American politics and Western society.
"For five or seven years now, we have been seeing some kind of a ‘sinful marriage’ between the radical left and radical Islamism, the groups that hate Western liberal democracies and desire to destroy them," she told Fox News Digital.
A Fox News Digital investigation found roughly 425 organizations spanning communist groups, Muslim advocacy organizations and anti-Israel activist coalitions are part of a coordinated transnational protest network that collectively brings in about $1 billion in annual revenue.

Antifa-linked sites go dark after State Department terror designation of tech collective
Websites tied to Portland’s Rose City Antifa and the militant abortion-rights group Jane’s Revenge began going dark in the days after the State Department designated their Italy-based technology provider a global terrorist entity.
Fox News Digital first reported this week that the State Department had designated Autistici/Inventati, known as the A/I Collective, as a specially designated global terrorist over its alleged support for violent far-left networks.
"Today’s news demonstrates the extent to which the A/I Collective was the digital infrastructure of the global Antifa terror network," a State Department official told Fox News Digital.
RUBIO PUTS ENTIRE WORLD ON NOTICE AGAINST RISE OF 'POISONOUS' FAR-LEFT TERROR 'MASKED AS EQUALITY'
"Just one day after the extremist collective was designated as a specially designated global terrorist, an untold number of servers and websites — used by far-left extremists to plot violent attacks, target federal agents, and conceal their crimes from law enforcement — have been shut down," the official said.
Among them was Rose City Counter-Info, a Portland-based website the State Department says Rose City Antifa used to publish personal information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and organize violent activity against federal agents.
The State Department said the group used the site to distribute an online flyer urging supporters to use laser pointers against Customs and Border Protection helicopters. Federal records show one man later pleaded guilty to aiming a laser at a CBP helicopter, forcing the aircraft to abort a planned landing.
Jane’s Revenge also used A/I services to publish communiqués claiming responsibility for attacks on pregnancy centers and to incite copycat violence, according to the State Department. The group claimed responsibility for the May 2022 firebombing of a crisis pregnancy center in Madison, Wisconsin.
The NoBlogs platform, which is hosted by A/I and contains thousands of sites, was intermittently unavailable Friday. Some individual pages remained accessible while others returned errors or timed out.
The State Department has not said whether any U.S. agency directly disabled A/I infrastructure or whether the outages resulted from decisions by the collective, its vendors or its users after the designation.
FBI SAYS NEW MISSION CENTER HAS IDENTIFIED 'NEFARIOUS' PROTEST FUNDING AND SUBJECTS
The sanctions action blocks Americans and U.S. financial institutions from doing business with A/I and freezes any assets it holds under U.S. jurisdiction.
The State Department says A/I provided encrypted chat and email services, web hosting, secure video tools and anonymity services to violent left-wing groups in the United States and Europe. The department also said a media organization using A/I services disseminated material from Hamas, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah and other designated terrorist groups.
A/I denied the allegations in a statement posted on a NoBlogs-hosted page.
The collective described itself as "a small, volunteer-run, technology collective from Italy" that provides tools for "digital self-defense."

"We will not back down," the group said. "Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism. Protesting is not terrorism.
"The terror designation of the A/I Collective dealt a devastating blow to the transnational far-left networks that have plagued America and our allies for years," the State Department official said.
Trump calls ISS crew from Houston to praise space pioneers and offer 'Oval Office time'
President Donald Trump on Friday spoke with American astronauts aboard the International Space Station from Houston, where he honored the Artemis II crew moments earlier.
Trump joked at the beginning of the phone call that many Americans would love to travel to space.
"I wouldn't do it," he said from NASA's Johnson Space Center. "I hate to admit it. I would not want to do it. But some people love it more than anything."
TRUMP TO TRANSFORM SPACEFLIGHT FROM SPECTACLE TO STATUS QUO TARGETING 3 LAUNCHES PER DAY
The astronauts said they were "thrilled" to speak with Trump and that they were "in the middle of several spacewalks," with another one planned for next week.
Trump called the crew a group of "pioneers" for their efforts in space exploration.
He welcomed other officials to speak to the ISS crew and offered to welcome the astronauts to the White House when they return.
'WOKE' MILITARY ACADEMIES TARGETED IN NEW BLUEPRINT FOR SWEEPING WARFIGHTING OVERHAUL
"We're going to see you when you get back," he said. "In fact, if you want Oval Office time, right?"
A short time earlier, Trump honored the crew of the Artemis II with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and signed an executive order establishing the U.S. Space Force Academy.
"It will be at that same level when you serve West Point, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy, Annapolis," Trump said, comparing it to the other U.S. military academies. "It's going to be at that level."
Jerry Sandusky granted new evidentiary hearing after accuser recants testimony
Disgraced Penn State defensive coordinator and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky is scheduled to return to court next month, more than a year after one of his accusers recanted his allegations, according to court documents.
Sandusky, 82, was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison after his conviction in June 2012 on 45 counts of child sex abuse. Several prior petitions for post-conviction relief had been denied over the years.
He filed a new one in September 2025, which a Pennsylvania judge initially dismissed.
That decision was vacated over a procedural misstep, and Sandusky was later granted an evidentiary hearing after one witness, identified as R.R. in court documents, recanted his testimony.
"Affidavits from R.R. (alleged Victim 10) and the mother of alleged Victim 9 also establish that the Commonwealth engaged in questionable tactics to influence testimony of its witnesses," Sandusky's attorneys wrote in their amended petition.
Read Sandusky's amended petition for post-conviction relief:
They placed R.R.'s recantation within their broader allegation that authorities influenced Sandusky's accusers with therapy and suggestive interviewing, as well as undisclosed changes in witness accounts, according to court filings.
"[T]hroughout the pretrial process, I was told — both directly and indirectly — that trauma may have fragmented my memory, and that I could safely affirm details I did not fully recall," R.R. is quoted as saying in an exhibit attached to Sandusky's petition. "I was assured this was common and even expected."
Sandusky's lawyers allege that R.R. "was coached extensively and asked to revisit and reframe his allegations."
R.R.'s estranged wife, identified in the filings as Jasmine Rittmeyer, provided an affidavit and could testify, according to Sandusky's amended petition.

Lawyers for the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office have described her as R.R.'s "soon-to-be" ex-wife.
Read the prosecution's motion:

"The opinion of R.R.'s estranged spouse thirteen years after defendant's trial, pondering what she thinks may or may not have really happened to R.R. when he was 10 years old, or any other Sandusky child victim for that matter, is irrelevant and inadmissible," Deputy AGs Cari Mahler and Jaime Keating wrote.
The Commonwealth wrote in court filings that Rittmeyer’s affidavit alleges Sandusky investigator Frank Parlato contacted R.R. and "suggested that it would be beneficial for [him] to recant his testimony" before the recantation.
It is asking the judge not to allow Rittmeyer to testify about her opinion regarding Sandusky's guilt or innocence or whether she believes R.R. told the truth at trial.
Prosecutors also want the focus of the hearing to be on R.R.'s recantation and not the entire case against Sandusky.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
Sandusky's lawyers had raised several other claims in the original petition, including that he was denied due process and is entitled to a new trial over allegations that prosecutors influenced the testimony of a different witness and later profited from his allegations.
Sandusky has maintained his innocence after more than a decade behind bars.
He's due in the Bellefonte courthouse Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 9:30 a.m. for the evidentiary hearing.
Milo Yiannopoulos arrested by ICE, held at major deportation hub in Louisiana
Controversial former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is being held in federal immigration custody in Louisiana, Fox News has learned.
ICE sources told Fox News that Yiannopoulos is currently detained in Alexandria, Louisiana, a major hub used by the agency for deportation operations.
Yiannopoulos is a United Kingdom national. His current U.S. immigration status and the specific circumstances that led to his arrest were not immediately clear.

Trump DOJ widens legal war on states giving college benefits to illegal immigrants
The Trump administration filed lawsuits against four states Thursday over laws allowing illegal immigrants to receive financial benefits offered to state residents, including in-state tuition, state grants and state-funded student loans.
The Justice Department argued that laws in Oregon, Washington, New Mexico and Arizona allowing illegal immigrants to receive benefits are in violation of a federal law that states an illegal immigrant is ineligible to receive higher education in-state benefits unless those same benefits are available to every U.S. student.
"This is a simple matter of federal law: Colleges cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens," Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division said in a statement.
"This Department of Justice will not tolerate American students being treated like second-class citizens in their own country."
The latest lawsuits bring the number of states facing legal challenges over laws granting illegal immigrant students the same benefits as lawful residents to 21. The Justice Department has won its cases in Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Illinois.
"Our efforts will not cease until President Trump’s promise is fulfilled: Illegal aliens will not receive benefits denied to American citizens," Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward, Jr. said in a statement.
The difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition costs at public universities in the four states is significant. The complaint showed that for the 2026-2027 school year, Washington residents would pay $13,406, compared with $44,460 for out-of-state students at the University of Washington.
This means illegal immigrants could receive a $31,054 discount if they earned a high school diploma or equivalent in the state, lived there for at least one year for reasons other than attending college and signed an affidavit saying they would seek permanent residency when eligible.
TRUMP'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUES NEW YORK, OTHER BLUE STATES OVER TUITION FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
The Justice Department's lawsuit against Arizona also showed a significant difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition costs, with the largest gap at Arizona State University totaling $24,448.
The lawsuit alleged that in fall 2025, 432 illegal immigrants received in-state tuition benefits at Arizona State University amounting to $10.5 million in reduced tuition.
The lawsuit also cites a report from the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting that estimates more than 3,600 illegal aliens per year could qualify for in-state tuition under Arizona’s law.
A spokesperson for the Arizona Board of Regents, a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said the school system follows state law.
"We are reviewing the lawsuit and will work closely with Arizona leaders on the appropriate next steps," a spokesperson said.
The benefits extend beyond tuition costs.
COURT CHECKS PRITZKER AS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SCORES ANOTHER IMMIGRATION WIN
In Oregon, only in-state students enrolled at Oregon Health & Science University can receive a Rural Nurse Scholars Scholarship, which covers the full cost of tuition and a $1,500 travel stipend. The Justice Department alleges that illegal immigrants are eligible for the scholarship under state law.
A June 2024 report estimated that roughly 408,000 illegal immigrants were enrolled in higher education, with 29.1% arriving in the United States at age 17 or older.

Trapped Nepali workers pulled from hydropower tunnel after catastrophic flooding
Stunning video shows rescue workers in Nepal dragging trapped citizens out of the mud in a hydropower plant tunnel after the devastating mudslide that has left over 1,000 people missing.
The video, released by Nepal’s Prime Minister’s Office on Friday, shows a series of rescue workers pulling trapped people through a tunnel that’s been saturated with mud.
In a post on Facebook, the Prime Minister’s Office said it had rescued 350 people from the tunnel but that efforts continue to evacuate more than 100 people still trapped. The post also added that workers had moved another 533 residents to safety from flooded areas.
The rescue operation is intended to save people after a disastrous mudslide struck the valley in the Rasuwa district in northern Nepal, also affecting neighboring Chinese province Tibet.
TERRIFYING VIDEO CAPTURES PEOPLE FLEEING INCOMING MUDSLIDE AT NEPAL-CHINA BORDER
At least 538 people have been confirmed dead in Nepal, according to the most recent estimate from the Nepal National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) and the Nepal Police.
People unaccounted for on the Nepal side now number up to 1,924, according to The Associated Press.
Chinese authorities also report that, on the Chinese side of the border in Tibet, which was also affected by the deluge and ensuing mudslide, five people were confirmed dead with another 558 missing.
Of the many missing people are approximately 90 Americans, according to the U.S. State Department.
President Donald Trump commented on the disaster Thursday, telling reporters, "That was a brutal... that was mud and water. It’s a mixture that nobody’s ever seen anything quite like that, where very powerful, strong, well-built buildings were wiped out like they were toothpicks."
A 7.8 MAGNITUDE QUAKE IN THE PHILIPPINES KILLS AT LEAST 32, COLLAPSES BUILDINGS AND SPARKS TSUNAMI
The uniquely devastating natural disaster was likely caused by a giant ice rock that crashed into the Lhende Khola River after an earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
"On Wednesday morning (local time), 26 August 2026, a catastrophic debris flow and flood was likely triggered by a glacial collapse in Langtang National Park, Nepal, near the border with China," the USGS said in a post on its website.

"This debris flow and flooding travelled nearly 100 km and impacted populated areas downstream along the Trishuli and Bhote Koshi Rivers, including Gyirong Port, China. Preliminary media reports and imagery analysis indicate many buildings and infrastructure have likely been buried or destroyed, including a vital highway connecting China and Nepal," the post added.
Fox News Digital contacted the Nepalese Foreign Ministry and the U.S. State Department for further comment.
