Left Bank Pictures, the Sony-owned producer behind The Crown, has defended its handling of a sexual assault complaint against former producer Chris Croucher.
Croucher, who was employed by Left Bank as an executive producer after working on shows like Downton Abbey, pled guilty to sexual assault and common assault last year after he groped one woman and assaulted a second woman at a Christmas party in December 2019. Croucher was spared prison, but was given a community order and added to the sex offenders’ register. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year.
Both of Croucher’s victims have identified themselves as part of a report by The Guardian. Holly Bourdillon and Laura Johnston were working in post-production on Left Bank’s Netflix series White Lines at the time of the incident. Bourdillon, who was the victim of the sexual assault, first complained to Left Bank about Croucher’s behavior...
