Louisette Geiss, a former actress who once met with Harvey Weinstein to discuss her screenwriting, said the film producer masturbated in front of her and tried to keep her in his room.

Geiss spoke at a news conference Tuesday in Los Angeles, alongside the lawyer representing her, Gloria Allred. Geiss said she was at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008 when she was approached by Weinstein. The two went to a restaurant together before going back to his office, she said.
