A Louisiana woman identified as Kristina Hirsch has filed a sexual assault and abuse claim against an actor reported to be Warren Beatty, alleging that in the 1970s, he coerced her into sexual contact when she was just 14 years old and he was in his mid-30s.
According to the suit filed by Kristina Hirsch on Monday, Beatty “used his role, status, and power as a well-known Hollywood Star to gain access to, groom, manipulate, exploit, and coerce sexual contact from her over the course of several months,” in 1973 while he was living in Los Angeles.
The suit does not cite Beatty by name, but identifies the defendant as having been nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Clyde in “Bonnie and Clyde” — a clear reference to Beatty.
Her lawsuit claims that the alleged abuse caused her to “suffer severe emotional, physical and psychological distress, including humiliation, shame, and guilt.”
Kristina Hirsch tells how he ‘raped her on the set of film The Parallax View
Kristina Charlotte Hirsch revealed in a 2017 YouTube video that resurfaced shortly after she filed a lawsuit that detailed her accusations against the “Bonnie and Clyde” star.
According to Kristina Charlotte Hirsch: ‘In 1973 I was a 14-year-old virgin and brought and introduced to Warren Beatty on the set of The Parallax View for the purposes of sexual pandering by an adult,’ she says looking directly into the camera.
‘I was unaware of this and from the spring of 1973 until the following January of 1974, carried on a relationship that I thought was something that was special.
‘It was a crime that Beatty was committing by raping me, having oral sex with me… and emotionally damaging me for the past 44 years,’ she adds.
Hirsch goes by the name Tina St. Clair in the video.
