The Judge found that while California recently revived expired sexual assault claims under the 2023 Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, it did not extend the deadline to file an administrative complaint with the state's Civil Rights Department—a prerequisite under FEHA.
At the time of the alleged incident in 2010, the filing window for such a complaint was one year.
The dismissed claims include employment discrimination and related violations through several serious allegations, including sexual battery and wrongful termination, remain active in the case.
Jonasson sued Diesel in 2023, accusing the actor of sexually assaulting her in 2010 during her employment. Although the incident had initially fallen outside the typical statute of limitations, the 2023 law signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom allowed such claims to be revived if the alleged misconduct occurred on or after January 1, 2009.
Jonasson's claims of alleged of sexual battery, retaliation, wrongful termination, negligent supervision and retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, will move forward, as they are not bound by the administrative complaint requirement.
Diesel's attorney, Bryan Freedman, responded firmly when the lawsuit was first filed, stating, 'There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations.'
On the work front, Vin Diesel has a number of upcoming film projects, including Fast X: Part 2 and XXX 4 that are currently in various stages of development.

Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner may return in ‘Fast & Furious' finale, hints Vin Diesel at fan event
Vin Diesel has sparked speculation about the potential return of Paul Walker's beloved character, Brian O'Conner, in the final 'Fast & Furious' film. During an appearance at Fuel Fest, a car enthusiast event held in Pomona, California, on Saturday night, Diesel addressed fans alongside co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker, Paul Walker's younger brother. While speaking briefly to the crowd, Vin Diesel revealed that the franchise's conclusion is tentatively slated for an April 2027 release and shared three personal conditions he presented to the studio in order to move forward with the film. 'The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of 'Fast and Furious' in April 2027?'' Diesel told fans. 'I said, 'Under three conditions.' First, is to bring the franchise back to LA! The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing! The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner.' Diesel's third point — reuniting his character, Dominic Toretto, with Brian O'Conner — has ignited discussion about how the filmmakers could achieve such a reunion. While Diesel's statement remains vague, the possibility of a digital reappearance for Brian O'Conner in the franchise's final chapter is not out of the question. With advancements in visual effects and the franchise's prior use of CGI to honour Walker's legacy, fans are hopeful but cautious about what form such a reunion might take. The most recent entry, 'Fast X', hit cinemas in May 2023 and grossed over $700 million globally, despite its massive $340 million budget. Featuring a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Alan Ritchson, Brie Larson, and Rita Moreno, the film was promoted as the first instalment of a two-part finale. However, it remains unclear whether 'Fast 11' will directly pick up from 'Fast X' following the extended production timeline. Paul Walker tragically died in a car accident in 2013 at the age of 40, midway through the production of 'Furious 7'. His remaining scenes were completed with the help of digital effects and body doubles, including his brothers Cody and Caleb.
