Chris Noth: Fourth Woman Comes Forward With Sexual Assault Allegations

[demmiblue]

A fourth woman has come forward with allegations of sexual assault against Sex and the City actor Chris Noth.

Lisa Gentile, a New York singer, and her lawyer Gloria Allred held a video press conference Thursday to reveal Gentile’s 2002 incident involving Noth, as well as lobby for New York State to pass the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) next year.

Allred opened her comments by noting that, due to the statute of limitations, Gentile is unable to pursue both criminal and civil charges against the actor. “If and when it becomes law, those who were victimized in New York will have the right and opportunity to finally hold those who victimized them accountable in a court of law,” Allred said.

Gentile’s account — like that of the third anonymous Noth accuser — began at the New York restaurant Di Marino often frequented by the actor. Gentile says she and Noth first met in 1998 but would see each other at the restaurant over the next few years.

1. How awful for her. I wonder how many others there are.

2. This act needs to pass.

There should be no statutes of limitation on sex offenses. It can take years before some victims are able to come forward, like this woman.
