The New York Times reports that Italian actress Asia Argento recently settled a complaint filed against her by a young actor and musician who said she sexually assaulted him when he was 17.
Argento is one of the most prominent activists of the #MeToo movement.
The Times says that Argento, 42, settled the notice of intent to sue by Jimmy Bennett, who is now 22, for $380,000 shortly after she said last October that movie mogul Harvey Weinstein raped her.
Bennett says in the notice that he had sex with Argento in a California hotel in 2013. The age of consent in California is 18.
The Times says it received court documents that have been authenticated by three people familiar with the case.
Representatives for Argento could not be immediately reached for comment. Bennett declined to comment to the Times.
This story has been clarified to say that Jimmy Bennett filed a notice of intent to sue.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.
The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.
Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.
Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
