Vin Diesel denies sexual battery claims

A former assistant to “Fast & Furious” franchise star Vin Diesel sued him Thursday, alleging that he sexually battered her in 2010 and created a hostile work environment. In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Asta Jonasson alleges that Diesel forced himself on her in a hotel suite in Atlanta, where the actor was filming the movie “Fast Five.”

Jonasson says Diesel forcibly groped her breasts and kissed her chest despite her asking him to stop, according to the suit. She also screamed and ran towards the bathroom when Diesel tried to pull down her underwear.
