Dustin Hoffman, a Hollywood star known for playing vulnerable and sympathetic characters, has recently been accused of s**ual misconduct by multiple women.

Despite his on-screen personas, Hoffman is now being portrayed as a predator who preyed on young girls.

Five women have come forward to accuse the actor of groping and abusing them when they were as young as 15, adding to previous allegations about his behavior.

While Hoffman himself has yet to respond personally, his lawyer has dismissed the claims as “defamatory falsehoods.” The accusations against him have been stacking up since last month, when he was first accused of s**ually harassing a 17-year-old production assistant.

Hoffman’s liberal views regarding feminism and women’s rights have made these allegations all the more surprising.

One of his accusers, Cori Thomas, was only 16 when she claims that Hoffman exposed himself to her in a hotel room.

According to Thomas, she and Hoffman spent the day together with his daughter before retiring to his hotel room.

After showering, Hoffman emerged n^ked, which deeply affected Thomas as it was the first time she had seen a n^ked man.

She claims that he then asked her to massage his feet while he sat on the bed in a bathrobe.

Melissa Kester, another alleged victim, was just 20 years old when she says Hoffman s**ually assaulted her in a recording studio where he was working on the soundtrack for the box-office flop Ishtar.

Kester’s boyfriend worked in music and Hoffman invited her to join him at the studio.

She was flattered by his offer to help her become a scriptwriter.

Kester alleges that Hoffman proceeded to assault her by sticking his fingers down her pants, leaving her frozen with fear and confusion.

Another anonymous accuser claims that Hoffman assaulted her in the same way when she was an extra on the same film.

She claims that he invited her to an end-of-filming party in New York, and then offered her a ride home with several colleagues.

In the car, she alleges that Hoffman put his hand up her skirt and assaulted her.

She was unable to stop him as she was too afraid of what others would think of her.

She says that he gave her $20 and asked her to join him at his flat, where they had s**.

Other accusers have similar stories of Hoffman using his power and influence over them.

A woman identified only as Pauline claims that she was just 15 when Hoffman exposed himself to her in his New York home.

Another alleged victim, who used the pseudonym Carolyn, says that Hoffman threatened her and blocked the doorway during an encounter in his hotel room.

Actress Kathryn Rossetter offers the most detailed account of Hoffman’s alleged s**ual misconduct.

She claims that his harassment started three days into rehearsals for a 1983 Broadway revival of the Arthur Miller play Death Of A Salesman.

She was playing the mistress of Hoffman’s character, and he took her to his house to meet his wife.

Rossetter says that his behavior quickly became inappropriate, even groping her off stage between their scenes.

She also claims that colleagues on the production turned a blind eye to his behavior and even colluded with it.

While Hoffman has produced half a dozen people who have questioned Rossetter’s account, his accusers are standing by their stories.

The allegations against him have cast a dark shadow over his career and legacy, leaving many fans disillusioned.

It remains to be seen how he will respond to these claims, but the evidence against him continues to pile up.

Regardless of his response, these allegations will undoubtedly have lasting consequences for his reputation and career.
