Judge Dismisses Vin Diesel Sexual Battery Suit in Los Angeles Over Jurisdiction

The judge said California’s revival law cannot reach alleged conduct in Georgia.

Overview

  • Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Daniel M. Crowley granted summary judgment, ending Asta Jonasson’s remaining six claims against Vin Diesel and his company.
  • He ruled California statutes, including the Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act (AB 2777), do not apply extraterritorially to alleged 2010 conduct in Atlanta, and found the claims time-barred.
  • The court emphasized it made no findings on the truth of the allegations and decided the case on legal grounds only.
  • Earlier this year, four FEHA-based claims were dismissed as untimely for failure to meet California’s administrative filing requirement.
  • Diesel has categorically denied the accusations, and Jonasson’s attorney says she intends to appeal.
