And Another One

These cases seem to be coming fast and furious.

US actor Vin Diesel’s former personal assistant is suing the Fast & Furious star, accusing him of sexual assault during the 2010 filming of Fast Five.

A lawyer for the actor, real name Mark Sinclair, said his client “denies this claim in its entirety”.

Asta Jonasson claims in the lawsuit that the actor pinned her to a wall as he performed a sex act on himself.

She is further suing for wrongful termination, claiming his company fired her hours after the alleged attack.

Ms Jonasson’s lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles on Thursday, alleges that the sexual battery took place in Atlanta’s St Regis hotel during the filming of Fast Five.

The problem, as always, is how do you prove this after so much time? In this case, thirteen years. It’s very much ‘he said, she said.’

  1. There definately needs to be a statute of limitations in these cases and it needs to be short. No forensics, no credible whitnesses, no chance of a fair trial

    • I agree. Given the nature of the alleged crime, if you don’t report it straight away, then any evidence is pretty much gone. Then it’s one word against another and the jury has to decide whom to believe.

  2. All the evidence will be in the police report she filed immediately aft….

    Oh.

    Not guilty.
