Actor Vin Diesel is being sued by his former assistant, Asta Jonasson, for alleged sexual battery and wrongful termination, among other claims, relating to a 2010 incident, according to a complaint filed Thursday in Los Angeles.
The suit, obtained by CBS News, also names Diesel's sister, film producer Samantha Vincent, and One Race Films, the production company founded by Diesel and run by Vincent.
"Ms. Jonasson's lawsuit seeks to hold Vin Diesel accountable for his sexual assaults, and her former employer accountable for its unlawful termination of her employment and cover up of the sexual assaults," Jonasson's attorney, Claire-Lise Kutlay, said in a statement to CBS News.
