Lawsuit against Vin Diesel for sexual assault was dismissed
In 2023, a former assistant of the actor filed a lawsuit in a Los Angeles court for sexual assault, employment discrimination, and wrongful termination
The judge noted that, although the alleged assault occurred in Atlanta, Georgia, California laws do not have extraterritorial effect, so the lawsuit based on that legislation fails as it does not legally apply to the case.
Furthermore, the claims of workplace discrimination were time-barred because Jonasson did not file her complaint with the California Department of Civil Rights in a timely manner, a fundamental requirement to continue the process, according to to Variety.
It is important to clarify that the ruling issued by Judge Daniel M. Crowley of the Los Angeles County Superior Court did not at any point assess whether the events reported by Diesel's former assistant actually occurred.
Vin Diesel has denied all the accusations, and his lawyer expressed satisfaction that the court resolved this case without merit. The plaintiff announced his intention to appeal the ruling.
