A fifth woman publicly pointed out this Thursday of sexual assault to the American actor Chris North, the famous Mr. Big of the series Sex and the City.
Singer-songwriter Lisa Gentile assured in a virtual press conference that, in 2002, Noth stalked her in New York.
According to the victim’s testimony, the actor –who was his acquaintance– He insisted on entering his apartment after giving him a ride in the car.
“He started kissing me almost immediately. Then he leaned over and pushed me hard towards him ”, added the artist, who said she felt uncomfortable and had rejected his attempts.
“Then he got more aggressive and put his hands on my breasts and began to squeeze them hard on my shirt (…) I finally managed to push him out of his control and yelling ‘No, I don’t want this,’ ”she continued.
The singer assured that the actor insulted her and threatened her with “finish his career“If she told what happened.
Gentile will not be able to accuse Noth before Justice because the complaint dates from 2002, so it is prescribed in accordance with the legal framework of the state of New York, reported his lawyer Gloria Allred.
However, Allred expressed that he hopes that a law –which will be analyzed next month in New York– allow a one-year window to be opened for victims of sexual abuse to file lawsuits even if, according to statutes of limitation, they are prescribed.
