Judge Dismisses Vin Diesel Sexual Battery Lawsuit on Jurisdiction Grounds

The court said California’s revival statute cannot reach alleged conduct in Georgia.

Overview

  • Los Angeles County Superior Court granted summary judgment on Nov. 19, ending the six remaining claims tied to an alleged 2010 incident in Atlanta.
  • Judge Daniel M. Crowley found that California statutes, including AB 2777, show no affirmative intent to apply outside the state.
  • Four earlier claims under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act were dismissed in June as untimely for missing Civil Rights Department filing deadlines.
  • Asta Jonasson’s attorney says she intends to appeal and notes the ruling did not address the truth of the allegations.
  • Vin Diesel has categorically denied the claims, his team praised the ruling, the February Los Angeles trial will not proceed, and reporting notes Georgia’s statute of limitations has likely run.
