Actress accuses Weinstein Company of enabling sex abuse

LOS ANGELES, United States -- An actress filed suit against The Weinstein Company on Tuesday, alleging that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her and that the company had enabled his behavior.

Dominique Huett charges in her suit -- the first to be filed since the Weinstein scandal broke earlier this month -- that she met Weinstein at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills in November 2010 to discuss career opportunities.

The actress, who starred in an episode of the TV series “Blue Bloods” in 2015, says that the now-disgraced movie mogul lured her into his hotel room and then insisted she give him a massage.

She initially refused but he would not take “no” for an answer and she finally complied, the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court states.

Huett says Weinstein then performed oral sex on her, also refusing to take “no” for an answer.

“After performing oral sex on plaintiff, Weinstein masturbated in front of plaintiff until he reached orgasm,” it added.

The lawsuit charges that The Weinstein Company (TWC) was complicit in the abuse the entertainment mogul allegedly committed, in that it had known for years of his “repeated acts of sexual misconduct with women.”

“In particular, (TWC) was aware of Weinstein's pattern of using his power to coerce and force young actresses to engage in sexual acts with him,” the lawsuit says.
