Dustin Hoffman faces more claims of sexual assault and lurid misconduct with teenage girls

Five more women have come forward to accuse actor Dustin Hoffman of sexual assault on Thursday, with two accusers alleging they were in their teens when he exposed himself to them, and, in one case, allegedly masturbating in front of a 15-year-old.

The new claims to Variety, which Hoffman’s attorney dismissed as “defamatory falsehoods,” and The Hollywood Reporter bring the total number of accusations against the Oscar-winning actor to eight.

Pauline, who asked that her last name be withheld, told The Hollywood Reporter that she was 15 years old when Hoffman invited her to his home, exposed himself in his daughter’s bedroom and masturbated in front of her in 1973 when he was 36.

Pauline said she first met the actor while she was working in a Manhattan clothing store, and that they developed a sort of friendship in which he would occasionally pop in and say hello.

She told THR that Hoffman asked her to see a movie one afternoon, and afterward asked if she wanted to visit his home to see his puppy.

It was there that Hoffman led her into his daughter Karina’s room, exposed himself and masturbated in front of her.

“I’d never even seen a naked man before. I had never seen anything like it. I didn’t know what to say, what to do. I was sitting there eyes wide open. ‘I’ll be finished soon,’ he said. I didn’t even know what to say,” Pauline said.

As Hoffman allegedly continued, she asked to go home. Pauline said she didn’t confide in anyone at the time, but that the experience had a profound impact on her, and put her off acting forever.
