Last week, it was revealed that the fallen movie maker - who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 80 women - would settle for $25 million with many of his accusers. Sokola - who quit modeling to become a psychologist - said in a statement that she is going public in the new case because, “I cannot accept the proposed ‘global settlement’ as fair or just.” The law, which that went into effect in August, allows former child victims a one-year window to file claims that have already passed outside of the statute of limitations. Sokola, who previously sued anonymously in one of the class-action cases against Weinstein, brought the new case under New York’s recently enacted Child Victims Act.
When he finally let her go, “he told her that she needed to work on her stubbornness,” per the court papers. “He would not let her leave until after he terrified and sexually abused her.”Īfter the alleged assault, “Weinstein insisted that what had just happened was normal.” “Sokola realized then he was determined to sexually satisfy himself with her in whatever way he wanted,” the court documents allege. Weinstein “pressured Sokola, saying that he had ‘made’ the careers of Penelope Cruz and Gwyneth Paltrow, and that neither would be working without him” before fondling her and forcing her to masturbate him, the suit says.Īs Weinstein allegedly molested Sokola, she “continuously protested.” But his “demeanor became intense, as if he was hunting prey,” the filing states. Weinstein allegedly ordered the teenager to strip, and she complied, feeling “as though she was no longer in control of her body.” “He told her that if she wanted to be an actress, she would have to be comfortable doing whatever the director told her to do - including losing her inhibitions and getting naked.” Once inside, Weinstein, then 50, “wasted no time in aggressively and threateningly demanding sex,” the court papers say.
“Naïve as the child that she was, Sokola believed him,” the court documents say.īut when they met, “instead of taking her to lunch, as promised, Harvey Weinstein took Sokola without her consent to his apartment,” the court papers, filed Thursday, claim.
