A former 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 â 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.Â
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 to remain within “sight or sound” of the child.Â
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. Does abuse, and blamed Ms. Bolleau for the impact of Mr. Does horrific misconduct,” Bolleau’s lawyers wrote.
“Disneys egregious role in Mr. Does 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.Â
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.
