In a groundbreaking victory, Dordick Law Corporation has achieved a record-setting $900 million jury verdict in Los Angeles Superior Court for a sexual assault case against self-proclaimed entertainment billionaire Alkiviades David, also known as David Alki. This monumental verdict marks a significant triumph for justice and sets a precedent in the fight against workplace sexual assault.
Case Overview
On June 17, 2024, a unanimous jury in Department 76 awarded plaintiff Jane Doe a total of $900 million—$100 million in compensatory damages and $800 million in punitive damages—against Alkiviades David for sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The trial, presided over by Judge Christopher L. Lui, brought to light the heinous acts committed by David against Ms. Doe while she was employed at his various companies, including Filmon TV, Hologram USA, Inc., and SwissX Labs.
From February 2016 to April 2019, Ms. Doe endured severe sexual harassment and assault, including rape, at the hands of David. Disturbingly, the evidence presented during the trial revealed that the assaults continued even while David was involved in another sexual assault trial in April 2019. Additionally, David’s office environment was alarmingly hostile, with a room at Hologram USA referred to as “The Rape Room” and a pornographic image labeled “HER-ASS” adorning the human resources department door.
Legal Representation and Prior Cases
Jane Doe’s case was skillfully represented by Gary A. Dordick, the lead trial attorney from Dordick Law Corporation, with Dustin Moaven as the second chair associate attorney. This victory adds to a series of substantial judgments against David over the past five years, with previous lawsuits led by prominent attorneys Lisa Bloom and Gloria Allred.
The significance of this verdict cannot be overstated, as it is believed to be one of the largest sexual assault verdicts in history. Prior to this case, juries had awarded over $80 million against David for similar allegations, highlighting a disturbing pattern of abuse and exploitation.
