Occurring in 1992, three years after she started working at Miramax, Smith reveals the incident happened at the firm's mansion flat in West London.

The woman, who asked The Daily Mail to change her name to 'Sarah Smith' for legal reasons to keep private, is now the first British woman to come forward public with a rape allegation against the film executive.

Smith recalled in her story that she was there on her own when he arrived in the office.

"He went down to the basement [to a bedroom for visiting employees] and he called my name. I went down – he was standing there with nothing on. I started to back away. He grabbed me and he was so big and powerful. He just ripped my clothes away and pushed me, threw me down. Then… I kept shouting, 'No! Stop!' and tried to push him off."

She adds that he then "forced himself on me."

"And I remember, this is the one thing I remember most clearly: I thought, I have to keep saying 'No!' I was very aware that if a woman says no, it means no. And that was the one thing going through my mind throughout, 'No, no, no, no!' It was over very quickly and then he just said, 'Get out!' I remember walking home that night and it was cold and sodden. I was mortified and ashamed. I didn't tell anyone."

Smith went on to detail more of the aftermath with the Daily Mail investigation, adding how it still traumatizes her to this day.

"Even after all these years, I can still wake up screaming. It happened as recently as a couple of weeks ago," Smith said. "You think you're over it and getting on but there are still things that affect everyday life, even after all this time."
