An Italian model whose testimony led to an L.A. jury finding Harvey Weinstein guilty of rape in December has filed a civil suit against him.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe 1, is suing Weinstein for sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and other unnamed parties for negligence, according to a complaint filed in L.A. Superior Court on Thursday. In the complaint, the victim’s attorneys wrote that “had said fulfilled their duties and responsibilities, Plaintiff would not have been assaulted or raped.”
According to the suit, Weinstein, 70, assaulted the woman at the Mr. C Beverly Hills hotel following a film festival in 2013. The woman met Weinstein at an event but returned to her room alone. Weinstein showed up at the hotel “unannounced” and called her from the front desk or lobby and demanded that she tell him her room number, which she declined to do.
The woman reported the assault to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2017 amid the start of the #MeToo movement.The family of Halyna Hutchins has filed a lawsuit against Alec Baldwin and others for the fatal shooting of the ‘Rust’ cinematographer. “Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night. I will never get that back,” the woman said in a statement following the conviction. “But I knew I had to see this through to the end ... I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime.”
