00:00 A former assistant for Vin Diesel has sued him for alleged sexual battery.
00:07 According to court documents filed on December 21st and obtained by Access Hollywood, Asta
00:11 Jonasson claims that the Fast and Furious star groped and molested her while she was
00:16 working for him during the production of Fast Five in 2010.
00:21 Neither Diesel nor his representatives immediately responded to a request for comment from Access
00:25 Hollywood.
00:26 The papers claim that Jonasson flew to the franchise sequel's filming location in Atlanta
00:31 to begin her employment and was fired less than two weeks later, hours after the alleged
00:37 assault.
00:38 According to the suit, Diesel allegedly "forcibly grabbed Ms. Jonasson, groped her breasts, and
00:43 kissed her while they were alone in his hotel suite as she "struggled continually to break
00:49 free of his grasp while repeatedly saying no."
00:53 Jonasson claims that she reached the front door where Diesel allegedly "groped her body,
00:57 dropped to his knees and pushed Ms. Jonasson's dress up, groped her legs, and attempted to
01:02 pull down Ms. Jonasson's underwear."
01:06 Jonasson's suit further alleges that Diesel then followed her to a nearby bathroom and
01:09 pinned her to the wall and masturbated while she protested.
01:13 She claims in the legal papers that Diesel ignored her clear statements of non-consent
01:18 and that she was "terrified for her personal safety" and attempted to dissociate until
01:23 the alleged assault was over.
