The popular Italian actress Asia Argento, who was one of the first to accuse Harvey Weinstein of rape, is now herself a victim of allegations of sexual harassment of a teenager.

Actor and musician Jimmy Bennet accused of harassment Italian actress and director, reports The New York Times.

According to the publication, they agreed that to settle the conflict, it will pay him $ 380,000.

Bennet demanded compensation from Argento one month after the publication of the article. The actor said that she sexually harassed him in 2013 in California. At that time, he was 17 years old (Argento - 37), whereas the age of consent in California begins at age 18.

The actor's defense claims that the incident so traumatized him that it prevented him from working and affected his mental health.

In the 2004 film "Tiptoe" Bennet played the son of the heroine Argento.

The New York Times refers to copies of the statement of charges and the document on the agreement reached by the editorial office. Their authenticity was confirmed by three sources, aware of the negotiations of the parties.

However, there are no official comments from Argento, her lawyer and Bennett himself.

Recall, in late May 2018, Weinstein was charged with two rapes of the first and third degree, as well as a crime of a sexual nature of the first degree. In July, the producer was presented with new charges related to violence. However, he did not admit guilt.
