Raquel Lee, who appeared on “The Amanda Show” and “The Proud Family” as a child star, has sued Disney, alleging that an ex-employee raped her when she was 14 while working on the 2001 movie “The Poof Point.”

In a lawsuit filed Friday, Lee accused Disney of negligence and claimed that a “middle-aged, male employee who was involved in the filming of the movie” groomed her, sexually harassed and assaulted her while filming “The Poof Point.” He allegedly gave Lee alcohol and assaulted her while the film’s cast was staying in Salt Lake City and on a flight back to California. The lawsuit claimed that Disney and the director of the film, Neal Israel, told Lee to “bond with, get close to, and trust” the employee.
