What Happened to Julia Ormond?

Actress Julia Ormond is suing former film producer, Harvey Weinstein for battery and sexual assault which she says occurred in 1995. She is also suing the once Weinstein-owned Miramax as well as the Walt Disney Company, which purchased Miramax in 1993, for negligence and the Hollywood talent agency, CAA, who represented the actress, for negligence and breach of fiduciary trust.

The case was filed in New York under a law that allows sex cases to be filed outside of the Statute of limitation. The suit argues that at the peak of her career, she and Weinstein returned from a business dinner to an apartment provided by the production company where “he stripped naked and forced her to perform oral sex on him”.

Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape.

Weintein’s attorney, Imran Ansaru told the Associated Press that his client “categorically denies the allegations made against him by Julia Ormond and he is prepared to vehemently defend himself”.
