A second massage therapist is accusing casino mogul Steve Wynn of using his power to coerce her into sexual acts. She becomes the second woman this week to make the claim, adding to the number of women who have accused the billionaire of sexual misconduct.

The unnamed 36-year-old woman filed a lawsuit Thursday in Nevada claiming Wynn forced her into sexual acts about 50 times over the course of about three years starting in 2006.

She says Wynn gave her $400 after each massage and told her to never talk about it.

Wynn's spokesman, Ralph Frammolino, did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

A massage therapist is accusing casino mogul Steve Wynn of using his power to coerce her into sexual acts. She is the latest woman to accuse the billionaire of sexual misconduct.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the unnamed 49-year-old woman filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Nevada claiming he forced her into sexual acts about a dozen times yearly as recently as 2011.

She says Wynn gave her $1,000 after each massage and told her to never to talk about.

Wynn has denied the misconduct accusations and attributed them to a campaign led by his ex-wife. He resigned as chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts.

The new allegations come after authorities revealed this week that two women filed police reports against Wynn in Las Vegas over allegations dating from the 1970s.
