Award-winning filmmaker, James Toback, is being accused by 38 women of sexual assault over a span of nearly 40 years.
Club — named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit — of permitting “Toback’s abuse to continue unchecked.” The director, who graduated from Harvard in 1966, “repeatedly used the prestige and privacy” of Manhattan’s Harvard Club to conduct his “serial sexual abuse of young women” in the dining room, stairwells, bathrooms and hotel rooms, according to the complaint.
In 2018, five women reported their personal accounts of sexual abuse by Toback to the Harvard Club, per the suit.

For 40 years, the suit claims, the Harvard Club “continually catered to Toback’s needs, providing him a safe haven for his reprehensible and criminal acts.”‘s requests for comment. The filmmaker’s accusers also claim he intimidated them by threatening violence, boasting of affiliations with the mob, and claims that he said he murdered people — including a therapist at Harvard and that he “had killed someone with a fork.” Toback would also threaten to ruin women’s careers if they ever told anyone about the assaults.
