A fourth woman has come forward alleging that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her after her repeated refusals.

In a press conference in New York today held by attorney Gloria Allred, Mimi Haleyi claimed Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in 2006. Haleyi was in her 20s at the time, Allred said.

Representatives for Weinstein did not immediately comment today. Weinstein has previously denied any non-consensual sexual encounters.

In graphic detail, Haleyi described Weinstein holding her down in what she said appeared to be a kids bedroom in his New York apartment. Haleyi said Weinstein "orally forced himself on me while I was on my period."

Dozens of women have claimed Weinstein sexually harassed them. Three women, including actress Rose McGowan, have previously said Weinstein raped them.

Allred declined to say if Haleyi would file a civil suit against Weinstein.
