Russell Simmons accused of sexual assault alongside Brett Ratner 

Model, Keri Claussen Khalighi stated in 1991, aged 17 she was invited round to Russell Simmons, the hip-hop mogul who co-founded Def Jam Recordings. She stated that Simmons had tore off her clothes and attempted to force her to have sex, which she said she fought wildly. She also stated “I looked over at Brett and said, ‘Help me,’ and I’ll never forget the look on his face. In that moment, the realisation fell on me that they were in it together.” 
Due to the fact she was 17 at the time she is classified as a child, where 1 in 20 children are sexually abused and 1 of 3 are perused by an adult. This makes Russell Simmons an addition to this number. 
When looking at Brett Ratner, there is a history of sexual assault, where women such as Olivia Munn, Natasha Henstridge, Jamie Ray Newman,  and Katharine Towne were victims. Three of these womens professions are or were modelling.
