From People
Vin Diesel is denying claims made by his former assistant in a lawsuit against him alleging sexual battery.
The complaint, filed in Los Angeles this week and obtained by PEOPLE, alleges that in 2010 at Atlanta’s St. Regis hotel the Fast & Furious actor-producer assaulted plaintiff Asta Jonasson, groping her and masturbating while pinning her down.
Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for Diesel, now 56, said in a statement to PEOPLE, "Let me be very clear: Vin Diesel categorically denies this claim in its entirety."
“This is the first he has ever heard about this more than 13-year-old claim made by a purportedly nine-day employee. There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations," Freedman added.
The lawsuit — a complaint for damages against Diesel, his sister Samantha Vincent and their production company One Race Films — claims sexual battery, discrimination on the basis of sex/gender, intentional infliction of emotional distress, hostile work environment, wrongful termination and retaliation.
