Thomas J. Henry PLLC, the prominent Texas-based personal injury law firm, has recently resolved the second lawsuit tied to allegations of sexual misconduct. This development comes just a day after the firm settled a previous case with similar accusations. The dismissal was agreed upon in the litigation involving Rigel Harris, a production assistant who claimed assault by the director of a film that was commissioned by and featured Thomas J. Henry.
The agreed dismissal was filed on October 25 in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas, as documented in a court filing. The dismissal is with prejudice, effectively concluding the case, according to statements from Harris’ attorney, Jay Ellwanger of Ellwanger Henderson LLLP. Specific terms of the resolution or any potential settlements have not been disclosed.
Unlike the current scenario, the firm previously settled another complaint with a former office manager, marking a busy week for Thomas J. Henry PLLC concerning claims related to sexual misconduct within its associated activities. More details on the prior resolution can be found in the report.
This sequence of legal resolutions highlights the ongoing challenges that organizations face in handling allegations of misconduct, especially in high-profile and high-stakes professional environments.
