      <title>Actor Vin Diesel hit with sexual battery lawsuit by former assistant</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30345091/actor-vin-diesel-hit-with-sexual-battery-lawsuit-by-former-assistant</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A former assistant to the actor Vin Diesel filed a lawsuit against him on Thursday alleging that he sexually battered her in 2010 and that she was fired from her job just hours later.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the lawsuit, filed in a Los Angeles court, the former assistant Asta Jonasson alleges that Diesel assaulted her in an Atlanta hotel room while the pair were working on the movie “Fast Five.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Legal and public relations representatives for Diesel did not immediately reply to requests for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Sexual harassment in the workplace will never stop if powerful men are protected from accountability,” Jonasson’s lawyer Claire-Lise Kutlay said in a written statement. “We hope her courageous decision to come forward helps create lasting change and empowers other survivors.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her lawsuit, Jonasson alleges that Diesel forcibly groped her breasts and kissed her after he had spent a night entertaining multiple women in his hotel suite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Vin Diesel ignored Ms. Jonasson’s clear statements of non-consent to his sexual assaults,” the lawsuit reads.&lt;/p&gt;
