A 16-year-old girl who came to the US from Poland with dreams of becoming a model has accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault over the course of a decade, in a series of new court documents filed on Wednesday.

The unnamed woman is the tenth to join a class action suit, filed in Manhattan.

In the court documents, obtained by Sky News, it states that the teenager moved to the US in 2002, and first met Weinstein at an event hosted by her modelling agency.

They allege that a few days later, Weinstein took the teenager to his Soho apartment, where he "aggressively and threateningly" demanded sex.

"Weinstein threatened and pressured Jane Doe, saying that he had 'made' the careers of Penelope Cruz and Gwyneth Paltrow, and that neither would be working without him."
