Alleged mental abuse and/or rape would be a breach of contract. If he had been convicted and it was proved that Sony knew about it and did nothing to help her, then most likely that would be a pretty significant and enough to get her out of the contract (but even then, maybe not, depending on how cleaver Sony’s…
