NEW YORK — A woman who says Harvey Weinstein raped her when she was 17 is among four plaintiffs in a new lawsuit against the imprisoned movie mogul, the latest court action accusing him of decades of vile sexual behavior.
Weinstein’s lawyer said the disgraced film producer — now serving 23 years in prison for a February rape conviction — intends to defend himself against the claims in the new lawsuit, some of which date back even earlier. In Thursday’s lawsuit, another woman alleges Weinstein jammed his tongue into her mouth and fondled her breasts and vagina as he pinned her against a hotel door at the Cannes Film Festival in France in 1984.
The women are suing Weinstein; his brother and former business partner, Bob; Miramax, the movie studio they founded; Disney, which once owned Miramax; and 10 “doe corporations,” renewing allegations made elsewhere that they knew of his behavior and didn't stop him.
