Met probing two new allegations of sex assault by disgraced mogul Weinstein

BRITISH police investigating Harvey Weinstein have received two further allegations of sexual assault, Scotland Yard said.

A woman alleged the disgraced movie mogul assaulted her in Westminster in 2011 while a separate alleged incident took place outside the

UK. Reported to the police in November but only now made public, it brings the total number of women who have reported Weinstein to British police to nine.

News of a ninth alleged victim comes on the same day that Kill Bill star Uma Thurman alleged the former Miramax boss assaulted her in a London hotel room around the time Pulp Fiction was released in 1994.

Officers have now received 14 separate allegations of sexual assault on dates ranging from the 1980s to 2015. Three are said to have taken place outside the UK.

A spokeswoman for Scotland Yard said: “On November 13 an allegation was received that the man sexually assaulted a woman (Victim 9) in Westminster in 2011 and outside the jurisdiction of the UK in 2010.

“The second allegation will be passed to the relevant police force in due course.” Scotland Yard did not name Weinstein, but confirmed officers from the Met’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are investigating allegations of sexual assault from nine victims under Operation Kaguyak. Police in the UK first confirmed they had opened an investigation into Weinstein in early October after Merseyside Police received an allegation of sexual assault in the London area in the 1980s, and referred it to Scotland Yard.

British actress Lysette Anthony said she had told the Metropolitan Police she was attacked by Weinstein in her London home in the late 1980s.

On October 31 last year an alleged eighth victim told UK police she had been assaulted by Weinstein in the Republic of Ireland. The allegation has been passed to the Garda.

Officers in New York and Los Angeles have also opened investigations into allegations made against the movie mogul.

On Saturday US actress Thurman (47) claimed he assaulted her after the release of Weinstein-funded movie Pulp Fiction in 1994, and recalled a second incident in which it is alleged he threatened to derail her career.

She told the New York Times Weinstein tried to shove himself on top of her and attempted to expose himself.

“He did all kinds of unpleasant things,” she said. “But he didn’t actually put his back into it and force me. You’re like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard.”

Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
