Weinstein could face charges

PROSECUTORS are considering bringing charges against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein after police in Beverly Hills handed over two investigations.

It comes after dozens of women accused the Hollywood producer, 65, of sexual harassment and assault.

Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office spokesman Greg Risling said: ‘Two cases have been presented to our office by the Beverly Hills Police Department regarding Mr Weinstein and are under review.’

Weinstein’s apparent downfall began with a New York Times investigation in which actress Ashley Judd said he sexually harassed her in 1997.

Police in London, New York and Los Angeles are also investigating Weinstein, who has denied any allegations of nonconsensual sex.
