Chelsea Stone Accuses Lost actor Henry Ian Cusick of Sexual Harassment

A woman, Chelsea Stone, filed suit in an L.A. court on Friday, charging both Lost actor Henry Ian Cusick and ABC with sexual harassment, claiming she was groped by the actor then fired by ABC shortly afterward.

The lawsuit that was filed Friday in L.A. says that Cusick, who plays Desmond Hume on the show Lost, fondled Chelsea Stone’s buttocks and breasts while trying to kiss her on the lips in October of 2007. The lawsuit claims that Stone reported the incident to ABC, her employer, but was simply told to try to avoid being near Cusick. She is claiming she was fired 12 days later as retaliation for reporting the alleged sexual abuse. The filing says Stone had worked for ABC since 1997, around 10 years.

The lawsuit documents do not specify how much Chelsea Stone is seeking for damages from Henry Ian Cusick and ABC, but you can expect it to be a significant sum.
