The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Sokola has done.
Dozens of women have accused Harvey Weinstein of wrongdoing.
He is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 6 on charges he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006.
He has pleaded not guilty and maintains that any sexual activity was consensual.
Sokola’s lawsuit includes only part of the allegations she detailed as Jane Doe in October 2018.
In that court filing, she also accused Weinstein of subjecting her to years of harassment and emotional abuse and said he blocked her from a successful acting career as payback for refusing his advances.
Sokola, now a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in her native Poland, says in the lawsuit filed Thursday that she felt angry at Weinstein during the encounter and ashamed that he was causing her to unwillingly engage in sex acts.
“Weinstein made clear that refusing his sexual demands would mean giving up the opportunity to make it in Hollywood,” the lawsuit says. “As Harvey Weinstein finally let Sokola leave, he told her that she needed to work on her stubbornness.”
