LOS ANGELES — A Louisiana woman is accusing Oscar winner Warren Beatty of sexual battery, sexual assault, molestation and abuse that allegedly occurred in Hollywood when she was 14 years old and he was 35.
In a civil lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Kristina Charlotte Hirsch alleged that the 85-year-old “Bonnie & Clyde” star and several others “used his role, status, and power as a well-known Hollywood Star to gain access to, groom, manipulate, exploit, and coerce sexual contact from her over the course of several months” while she was a minor living in California.
Hirsch said the alleged incidents led her to suffer “severe emotional, physical and psychological distress, including humiliation, shame, and guilt,” according to the complaint, obtained Wednesday by the Los Angeles Times. She also lists issues with trust and control as consequences of the alleged assaults.
