Mira Sorvino says she was date raped and calls for ‘justice’ for survivors
Oscar winner at forefront of #MeToo movement says she felt ‘ashamed’ and that incident was somehow her fault
The Oscar-winning actor Mira Sorvino has said she is a survivor of date rape, saying she was talking about it publicly to lend her voice to a push for stronger sexual assault laws in New York.
Sorvino, who was one of the first women to accuse the film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, spoke during a news conference with New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, in support of the push to drop the statute of limitations on rape allegations.
