"Former Assistant Files Lawsuit Accusing Vin Diesel of Sexual Assault and Battery"

Vin Diesel has been accused of sexually assaulting his former assistant, Asta Jonasson, during the filming of "Fast Five" in 2010. Jonasson alleges that Diesel groped her, forcibly kissed her, and masturbated in front of her in his hotel room. She also claims that she was fired the next day in retaliation for resisting Diesel's advances. The lawsuit includes causes of action such as sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Jonasson decided to come forward now, empowered by the #MeToo movement and recent legislation that allows some sexual misconduct claims to be filed in civil court regardless of the statute of limitations. Diesel's representatives have not yet responded to the allegations.
