The lawyer representing an Ontario actor known as Jane Doe in her civil suit against Harvey Weinstein says the former media mogul has not yet appointed a lawyer to appear in court. The woman was able to escape, according to the claim, but Weinstein continued to call her in order to apologize. Jane Doe claims she returned with a friend later that day at Weinstein's urging, but was allegedly assaulted again, according to the claim. Disney and Weinstein have until Dec. 15 to hire a lawyer, when the case will be back in court. Allegations of sexual assault and harassment by Weinstein began in October when actor Ashley Judd claimed unwanted sexual advances by the film producer in an article with the New York Times.
