The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has declined to prosecute five allegations of sexual misconduct brought against writer-director James Toback. Last fall, police in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles submitted multiple cases against Toback to the district attorney's office. Following publication of the story, the L.A. Times reporter was contacted by more than 350 women with similar allegations. The five cases ultimately brought to the district attorney's office were declined on April 5, spokesperson Greg Risling told industry publication Hollywood Reporter. In one case, the victim failed to appear for an interview, but could still come forward in the future.
