US EditionSexual Battery Lawsuit Against Vin Diesel Dismissed by Judge - Entertainment News
Judge Daniel M. Crowley dismissed six remaining claims against Vin Diesel, ruling California law does not apply to alleged 2010 assault in Georgia, after earlier claims were time-barred.
- On Wednesday, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Daniel M. Crowley dismissed the six remaining claims in Asta Jonasson's suit, ruling California law cannot apply to alleged conduct in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Filed in December 2023, Jonasson's complaint alleges a September 2010 assault during Fast Five filming in Atlanta, with the 2022 Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act reviving such claims back to 2009.
- Jonasson's complaint describes specific alleged conduct including Diesel grabbing her wrists, pulling her onto a bed, trying to remove her underwear, and forcing sexual contact; shortly after, Samantha Vincent, president of One Race Productions, fired her.
- The ruling halted a February trial after arguments earlier this month, and Asta Jonasson intends to appeal; attorney Matthew T. Hale said `The Court did not decide anything about the truth of Ms. Jonasson's allegations.`
- Defense lawyers praised the ruling as ending Los Angeles litigation, with Sean Hardy's out-of-state argument prevailing and Bryan J. Freedman noting the case may proceed elsewhere.
