Three weeks into the Harvey Weinstein sex-abuse scandal, the list of accusers is not only swelling to near 60, but they're turning up in front of cameras and on network TV. On Wednesday, two accusers appeared at press conferences, including a new accuser introduced by women's-rights attorney Gloria Allred, her fourth so far. Meanwhile, the first lawsuit filed against The Weinstein Company in connection with the scandal lands a blow on the already shattered company.

Wednesday's developments as they happen:

New accuser says he raped her in London, later demanded threesome in Beverly Hills

Allred, who has already steered three other Weinstein accusers before press conference cameras in recent weeks, introduced another in New York on Wednesday, Norwegian-born actress Natassia Malthe, 43, who said Weinstein barged into her London hotel room and raped her in 2008 after she met him at the British film awards. After the rape, he masturbated in front of her, she said in her statement.

"I was completely grossed out. I believe that I disassociated during the time that he was having sex with me. I laid still and closed my eyes and just wanted it to end. I was like a dead person. Afterwards, I lay there in complete disgust."

Later, after returning to California, she said Weinstein got her a chance to pursue a role in the movie Nine. She met him at the Pennisula Hotel in Beverly Hills to discuss the film. She insisted on "no hanky-panky" and he promised his assistant would be there.

When she got to his suite, the assistant opened the door and escorted her in, then left. She found Weinstein in a robe and another woman who began engaging in sex with him. "Harvey made it clear that he wanted me to engage in a threesome with him and this other girl," Malthe said. "I refused. He and the girl were both laughing at me."

Allred said Malthe "was not even interested in a twosome with Mr. Weinstein, let alone a threesome."

When Malthe yelled at him later on the phone that working on one of his movies wasn't worth what he expected in exchange, he became angry and called her an obscene name. She said she gave up on the movie, moved out of the U.S. and became depressed.

"Things need to change. Actresses should not have to demean themselves to be successful...I had experienced sexual harassment from other powerful men in Hollywood, but my experiences with Harvey were the worst. Hollywood men should not be allowed to force women to gratify them sexually in order to get ahead."

Allred spent most of her time discussing her proposal to the Weinstein Company to create a substantial trust fund to be used to compensate accusers. So far, she said directors of the company have declined to meet with her.

"It is time for the Weinstein Company to put their money where their mouths are," Allred said. "It is easy to weep crocodile tears for Harvey's victims and talk about wanting justice, but that is not enough. Action and concrete steps are needed."

Allred says she also represents "numerous alleged victims of Mr. Weinstein" who have not gone public because they wish to retain their privacy. She hinted she might file a lawsuit at some point on behalf of one or all of her clients.

Allred also held a press conference Tuesday in New York to introduce Mimi Haleyi, a former production assistant who says Weinstein forced oral sex on her in his New York apartment in 2006.

If true, that would be a crime but Allred suggested it might fall outside the statute of limitations in New York. Instead, she urged Weinstein and the Weinstein Company to negotiate with her as soon as possible "in order to provide justice" for her clients.

Accuser who filedfirst lawsuit against Weinstein Company meets the press in Los Angeles

Dominique Huett, 35, discussed her allegations that Weinstein coerced her into oral sex in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2010. She filed the first lawsuit against the company on Tuesday claiming negligence for knowing about Weinstein's sexual misdeeds dating back decades and failing to do anything about it.

Huett said she met Weinstein at a bar at the Peninsula Hotel to talk about her career as an actress, when he demanded they go up to his room. "I didn't know how to say no to someone like him at the time, which I regret," she said.

He offered her champagne and came back into the room in a bathrobe, insisting on massages and later performing oral sex on her, despite her repeatedly saying no, she said at the news conference.

"I felt too frozen to run out of the room," she said.

Huett did not report the incident to police and is not alleging a crime occurred, said her New York-based lawyer, Jeff Herman. She is suing The Weinstein Co. because she only recently learned of claims that the company knew of long-running sexual harassment allegations against its co-founder, he said.

Herman reiterated the lawsuit's assertions that the company "condoned and enabled Weinstein's sexual misconduct with young women," how it was aware of nondisclosure agreements and confidential settlements with accusers intending to conceal said misconduct, and how its directors and employees knew that Weinstein was continuing to target "unsuspecting young women" for years.

The attorney said that information is key to overcoming statute-of-limitations hurdles that would otherwise block the case from moving forward.

Herman, who specializes in sexual-abuse cases, told USA TODAY he and Huett aim to put the "Hollywood casting couch" culture on trial through the lawsuit. Herman says that Huett’s story “at a minimum” amounts to sexual harassment.

"It's a civil case and one of her motivations is to kind of clean up Hollywood by holding the (Weinstein) company accountable for the casting couch, which would be a seismic shift in Hollywood," he said.

Two accusers talk to Megyn Kelly on NBC

Both Huett and Haleyi appeared with their lawyers on NBC News’ Megyn Kelly TODAY on Wednesday, to further discuss their allegations.

Herman again stressed his effort to change the Hollywood culture.

"What this case is about, and the reason Dominique is coming forward is because we want to see change," he told Kelly. "It is one thing to talk about what happened and it’s great we are all talking about it, but the only way we are really going to have change, is to hold these companies financially accountable."

Meanwhile, Ashley Judd, whose accusations against Weinstein were among the first to be made public in reports by The New York Times and The New Yorker three weeks ago, will make her TV debut talking about the scandal on Thursday in an interview with Diane Sawyer that will air throughout the day on the network's various news shows.
