Hollander is seeking a hundred million dollars in compensation for the alleged assault - she says she was raped at gunpoint and battered repeatedly, an attack which lead to her developing Graves Disease. Hollander's spokesperson says that she'd been "afraid" to file criminal charges at the time of the assault but has "recently gathered strength" to bring the action.
