Police check on Weinstein

DETECTIVES in New York City and London are taking a fresh look into sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein now that some 30 women have accused the Hollywood film producer of inappropriate conduct.

New York Police Department spokesman Peter Donald said investigators are reviewing police files.

So far, no filed complaints have been found, he said, other than one well-known case that prompted an investigation in 2015.

Mr Weinstein, through a spokeswoman, has denied any nonconsensual sexual conduct with any women.
