Hayley Dylan has accused Scott in a civil lawsuit of sexually assaulting her in the summer of 1987 when she was a 15-year-old student at Campbell Hall School, and he was 26 and married. The case was originally set to go to a jury trial Tuesday, but it was pushed back to Oct. 12 because of a court scheduling conflict. Dylan’s attorney, Kerry Garvis Wright, told The Times in a phone interview Tuesday that her team plans to file a motion with the bankruptcy court for relief from stay to return the sexual assault case to state court. If the motion is not granted, Dylan would have to pursue her claims against Scott in bankruptcy court. “We’re planning on exploring all of our options to get relief from stay and to have this case tried before a jury as soon as possible so that Byron Scott can face the consequences of his actions,” Wright said.

Scott filed for bankruptcy? Seriously?
I'm guessing that's a pro-tip. When accused of civil sexual assault, do your best to avoid financial responsibility by declaring bankruptcy. It's known that, in America, a person can be a billionaire and bankrupt at the same time. Could be, this bit of slight-of-hand is from the playbook that contains a similar strategy.
