If true yes that would come under false imprisonment. Though it does say in that link that he used a stunt double anyway. Also I have to ask if they were alone in a room together how do other people know what was said? My opinion he never said "I'll destroy your career." Besides being wrong, that would just be too risky. I thought Ray Fisher had already retracted his statement anyway?
I don't claim to know what happened. I am a big believer in "innocent until proven guilty" and scorn "trial by twitter" (and also roll my eyes whenever another feminist group gives a percentage of "those who never tell anyone" as if they would magically know--note: this is "never tell" not "never press charges" unless they're being dishonest in their wording which thus makes them unreliable narrators) but at the same time the legal system needs a MAJOR overhaul on how it treats and investigations of crimes of this nature, on multiple fronts.
However, I can believe people with a lot of social clout and best lawyers, especially if supported by an old boy network of some kind (from Hollwyood to a church clergy) would engage in outrageous behavior on a regular basis with little fear of consequence other than perhaps a transfer (IIRC, even teacher's unions have a practice called "passing the trash" so a sexually abusive teacher is sent to another school and implying the teacher is barred from teaching, even prosecuted, when that's not the case at all, just as in Hollywood, with religious and often military organizations).
Plenty without these protections do it all the time themselves. It's rampant. I actually think the reason people focus on Hollywood so much is to help feel better about all the intensive sexual harassment and abuse that goes on under their very noses at home and work (and whistleblowers find it hard to find future employment rather than hired by bosses who admire their ethics). Or like the time I was menaced by a carload of men in broad daylight on a crowded downtown street only for everyone, men and women, to turn away and pretend not to notice. And feeling guilty for that as they well should, they look for scapegoats to feel better than they are (though they're still trash, but as long as they can fool themselves into thinking they're better by finger wagging at someone else...). Some target gays. Others target Hollywood figures.
(There's also a powerful "high school" factor to Hollywood that I find hard to describe, basically people love to talk about them and treat it like middle school.)
I forget where I came across it but in some report there were FBI papers in one of the big names (got mentioned here recently, I'm not familiar enough with Hollywood to remember his name and too lazy to look it up) had PAGES of victims, including underage ones, but big Hollywood names were blacked out. (*). (I do recall it was focused on a woman who got sucked in as a runaway who was recruited and trained as a sex slave for him, and then as an adult sent to get more child sex slaves for him from Thailand but once outside the US she made her escape. Though unaware of it, he kept track of her enough that when the investigation began several years later he and his cronies, including the woman who gave her sex training, began harassing her and trying to bully her into silence, not even having the decency to offer a significant bribe. This led to conviction of the big Hollywood name, IIRC, and was investigated thoroughly by both FBI and their Australian counterparts. She, as a victim who feared for herself and her family, chose her words carefully as well.)
(* Back in the Satanic Panics, Chuck Norris was among those accused of sexually abusing children at a daycare center. Despite that plenty of people were imprisoned for imaginary crimes, I'm not aware of Chuck Norris getting so much as a phone call by the FBI. Which would be fine if the same skepticism was applied to the others so accused, but it implies Hollywood professionals have a lot of protection that most of the rest of us don't.)
ETA: just curious...do the Oprah like talk shows ever give a venue for these people to talk? They love the domestic and sexual abuse stories as it draws in viewers, and featuring Hollywood figures should surely draw in more whether as titillated, horrified, or defensive (just look at Michael Jackson), but I never heard of such. If it's not happening then that's a very bad sign that it's an even worse problem. (I don't know if they do or not, just that fans I know of these shows never mention them on said show so my impression is that they don't.)
