Actress accuses Dustin Hoffman of molesting her
Updated | By AFP
Dustin Hoffman has been accused of repeatedly molesting an actress who worked with him in the 1980s.

This is the second allegation to target the acting legend and the latest in a snowballing series of similar claims against powerful men.
Kathryn Rossetter, who played alongside the Oscar-winning actor in a 1983 to 1985 Broadway production of "Death of a Salesman," made the allegation in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter.
Despite Hoffman helping her get the role, her first on Broadway, things quickly turned into "a horrific, demoralizing and abusive experience at the hands (literally) of one of my acting idols," Rossetter wrote.
Once during a performance in Chicago, "I felt his hand up under my slip on the inside of my thighs," the start of abuse that happened "almost every show," she said.
Rossetter said that she considered reporting Hoffman to the actors' union but was dissuaded by others who said she would probably lose her job and her hopes of a career.
The actress later performed in the 1985 TV movie version of "Death of a Salesman," which also starred Hoffman.
A former intern on that set, Anna Graham Hunter, previously accused Hoffman in The Hollywood Reporter of putting his hand on her buttocks and making suggestive comments when she was 17.
The 80-year-old Hoffman, whose numerous film credits include Tootsie, Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man and All the President's Men, said he did not remember that episode from more than 30 years ago.
He added that he did not believe he had done harm, and that his conversations on the set were typical of those among members of a "family."
An outpouring of sexual assault allegations in the US entertainment, media and political worlds began in October with claims against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused by more than 100 women of behaviour ranging from intimidation to rape.
