We agreed to meet at the hotel restaurant where we both were staying.
… Harvey then offered to reconvene the meeting in his office, which was adjacent to his hotel room.
Obviously I was hesitant, she said.

I had heard some stories previously about Harveys behavior with women.
He seemed genuinely interested and I was excited, Geiss said.
I told him I was leaving.
He quickly got out of the tub and grabbed my forearm as I was trying to grab my purse.
He led me to his bathroom pleading that I just watch him masturbate.
Thats when she said she fled.
My heart was racing and I was very scared.
I pulled my arm away finally and headed to the door, Geiss said.
Weinstein followed, she claims, pledging to help her career in exchange for sexual favors.
Geiss said Weinstein told her she could get a three-picture deal and he would greenlight my script.
But I had to watch him masturbate.
Thats when Geiss left the room.
Her story matches other allegations against Weinstein, including claims made by numerous women in aNew Yorkerstory posted Tuesday.
Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein, a rep for Weinstein said.
Mr. Weinstein has begun counseling, has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path.
Mr. Weinstein is hoping that, if he makes enough progress, he will be given a second chance.
