Julia Ormond, the English actor best known for films such as Legends of the Fall, First Night and Sabrina, has accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual battery in a lawsuit that also names Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the Walt Disney Company and Miramax.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in the New York supreme court, first reported by Variety, Ormond claims that the disgraced movie producer sexually assaulted her after a business dinner in December 1995, when he lured her into giving him a massage, climbed on top of her, masturbated and forced her to give him oral sex.
