Former Disney child actor Raquel Lee, now 39, filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company alleging negligence after she says she was sexually abused by a Disney employee during filming of the 2001 Disney Channel movie The Poof Point when she was 14. The suit claims the employee gave her alcohol and assaulted her multiple times, including at a Salt Lake City hotel and on a flight back to California, with production failing to supervise and even blaming her for a deteriorating performance.

A San Mateo County jury awarded $33 million to 11-year-old twin girls whose parents were killed in Redwood City when their car was struck during a street race on Nov. 4, 2022.
