Glitz
Four woman have come forward to file a lawsuit against former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein Thursday. The victims claim that they were sexually assaulted by Weinstein.
One of the allegation stories claim that Weinstein raped her in 1994 when she was about 17.
This woman identified as Jane Doe II, now 43, alleges she met Harvey Weinstein in a hotel room in 1994 for what she thought was a business meeting when she was approximately 17 years old.
A nearly naked Weinstein greeted her at the door and despite her rebuffs he forced her to perform oral sex and then raped her, the lawsuit says. Weinstein took her driver's license before he let her leave the room, threatening to ruin her career and physically harm her and her family, according to the lawsuit.
Harvey Weinstein, 68, is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for his conviction in New York for charges of criminal sexual act and rape. Through his attorney, he denied the latest allegations.
