• Hutton claimed his $3 million deal to star, executive produce, and direct the Leverage reboot was breached when he was dropped from the show after a woman accused him of raping her in 1983 when she was 14 years old.
• Electric countered that Hutton had a legal duty to disclose the allegations against him, which would have violated the 'morals clause' in his contract, and that he tried to cover up the scandal during negotiations.
