AP - Tom Sizemore's former personal assistant has filed a lawsuit accusing the actor of harassment and sexual battery.
Paulina Briones says in her lawsuit, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the co-star of films including Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan repeatedly propositioned her for sex.
The lawsuit also names Sizemore's holding company, Bare Knuckles Productions; Forward Pass, which produced Sizemore's defunct television show Robbery Homicide Division; Universal Television Network, the series' production company; and CBS Television, which licensed the show.
In the lawsuit, Briones says she was hired in July 2002 for $1,500 a week to handle such personal tasks as ensuring Sizemore was awake in time to arrive at the set of his show, fielding phone calls and getting him soft drinks.
However, Sizemore soon "made his needs and true intentions apparent," the lawsuit claims.
Briones alleges the 41-year-old actor once greeted her naked when she arrived at his home and asked her several times to perform a sex act in return for $US5,000 ($A7,750).
The lawsuit alleges that Sizemore's demands escalated to a daily demand for sex, and that he once tried to force her to perform a sex act.
She also alleges that he asked her to ask her friends to have sex with him for money and to prepare dosages of methamphetamine and Vicodin for his consumption.
An attorney for Briones did not return a call for comment. A telephone call to Sizemore's lawyer was not returned.
The actor was convicted in August of six misdemeanour counts of harassing, annoying and physically abusing his former girlfriend, ex-Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.
He's scheduled to be sentenced on October 2 and could face up to four years in prison.
