Warren Beatty of accused of coercing teen girl into sex nearly 50 years ago in new lawsuit

A woman who claims actor Warren Beatty coerced her into sex with him almost 50 years ago when she was a young teenager has filed a lawsuit against him seeking damages.

The suit, lodged in Los Angeles, is the latest effort to claim compensation for abuses that are alleged to have happened decades ago, under a California law allowing complaints that would otherwise have passed the statute of limitations.

Kristina Charlotte Hirsch alleges in the suit that she met the "Bonnie and Clyde" actor on a movie set when she was 14 or 15 years old.
