    Harvey Weinstein accused of sexually assaulting 16-year-old girl: report

    1.jpg

    An aspiring actress says she was a 16-year-old virgin when disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her in New York, according to an amended Manhattan federal racketeering lawsuit filed Wednesday.

    The woman, a former model from Poland identified only as Jane Doe in the court papers, said that after agreeing to meet for a business lunch in 2002, Weinstein instead took her to his Soho apartment.


    “…Weinstein wasted no time in aggressively and threateningly demanding sex,” the suit alleges. He told the distraught starlet that if she wanted to be an actress she had to give in to his perverted desires.

    “Weinstein threatened and pressured Jane Doe, saying that he had ‘made’ the careers of Penelope Cruz and Gwyneth Paltrow, and that neither would be working without him,” the suit alleges.

    “He then took off his pants and forcibly held Jane Doe while taking her hand and making her touch and massage his penis,” the filing states.


    But later she continued to discuss her career with Weinstein, including trying out for “Project Runway.”

    Weinstein “ensured she never received work” because she refused to hop into bed with him, she alleges. The abuse and harassment left her depressed and exacerbated her anorexia, the suit says.

    She is the 10th victim to join the class action lawsuit against Weinstein, the Weinstein Company and Miramax, accusing them of assault, battery and racketeering.

    The women all claim that Weinstein lured them to hotels and auditions under the guise of furthering their careers and sexually assaulted or raped them.

    The suit, filed by firm Hagens Berman, says that the companies, which it calls the “Weinstein Sexual Enterprise,” were aware of the producer’s alleged illegal conduct and enabled it by threatening victims and paying them off.

    The new complaint, filed Wednesday, added plaintiff Jane Doe, describing her disturbing allegations for the first time.

    Weinstein’s civil lawyer, Elior Shiloh, declined to comment.

    “I have not seen the amended complaint so it’s hard for me to respond substantively, but based on everything I know, it would appear to me that there is no truth to this allegation whatsoever,” said Weinstein’s criminal defense lawyer, Ben Brafman.

    Piece. Of. Shit.

    Hope they break him and the businesses that knowingly supported him while he was doing that.

    Break EVERYONE that knew.

    It's amazing how quickly most media buries the stories about him. Especially, late night "talk" shows. :annoyed:

    Old trick. Offer a "severance" package that looks attractive, but only lasts you a couple years after taxes. This allows them to hire newbies at a fraction of your wage and benefit package. :oldglory: Meanwhile, your SOL when the money runs out and have to wait until your old enough to collect your 401 without penalty, and years out on S.S.

    The Army did it years ago, with the option of keeping REDUX.

    I waived the $30k option and stayed with the better retirement plan.

    Not a trick per se. Companies get top heavy with 25+ and 30+ year employees and offer them packages to retire early. I have a bunch of former coworkers for whom this was the best thing that ever happened to them. The company I was with at the time did it with salaried and hourly folks at different times. They also had a non-voluntary round for the salaried folks, but still gave the same generous packages out.

    It helps to do your homework for sure. One guy was freaking out when he got the non-voluntary package. I encouraged him to go home, calm down a bit, and look at the numbers; my bet was the package meant he could work 2 or 3 days a week until he hit his target age, instead of full time. I saw him about a month later and he was much, much happier.

    I'll agree on the homework. Those that don't do the math end up hurting, and I've known a few. One guy took the buyout, the recession hit harder, and he ended up with two minimum wage part time jobs to make ends meet.

    Exactly, plus the fact the accusers seemed to have no problem banging the douche when it benefited them. Now that there all old, haggard and looking like worn out show leather they come out of the woodwork seeking a payday. Similar to the Cosby case.

    Every time I watch cops it's always a Jeep, Dodge or a Pontiac with a filthy interior, a busted tail light and a pile of Busch beer cans falling out

    I agree, when it comes to "some" of the victims of the casting couch, but not all.

    One caveat with Cosby though, he was convicted of drugging and raping the victims.

    I saw one like that around here near me...I thought either they have lots of money for tires or they are just stupid.
