For those who are critical of NYCB for not reaching some agreement with Ms. Waterbury when her lawyer first came to them -- remember we don't know what her demand was to them. I am an employment lawyer and regularly handle harassment claims. It is not at all unusual for a potential plaintiff to make an extremely high pre-litigation demand which the employer/defendant can't possible consider paying, even if they would like to settle the matter. Ms. Waterbury's lawyer could easily have made a seven or eight figure demand. And how would a non-profit arts institution make such a payment? By using donor funds that have already been budgeted for all the normal things a ballet company needs to do. There is rarely insurance that covers these kinds of claims -- and certainly not before the key players have had to testify under penalty of perjury at a deposition etc.
On the criminal front -- victims often choose not to pursue that route because they are not in control of how the case is handled. A district attorney can simply decide not to pursue it or can settle for a very small fine/punishment. And in those cases the victim is just another witness -- they are not "at the table" when important decisions are made.
And I agree the complaint is very poorly written. A rush job.
