■ British police are investigating three new allegations of sexual assault against film producer
Harvey Weinstein, all made by the same woman. London’s Metropolitan Police force said Sunday that the woman reported being assaulted in London in 2010, 2011 and 2015. The agency said officers from its Child Abuse and Sexual Offenses Command are investigating. The woman’s name has not been made public. The agency also did not name Weinstein, in keeping with its policy of not identifying suspects who have not been charged. But it said the allegations involve a man against whom another accusation was made Wednesday. That alleged assault — reported to have taken place in west London during the late 1980s — also is being investigated. British actress Lysette Anthony said she reported to police on Wednesday that Weinstein raped her in her west London home in the late 1980s. Anthony, 54, who appears on the British soap opera Hollyoaks, told the Sunday Times newspaper that Weinstein raped her after showing up at her London home. Dozens of women have made allegations of sexual harassment and assault against the movie mogul in recent days, some dating back decades. Weinstein denies nonconsensual sexual activity. Also on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron said he has “started the procedures” to revoke Weinstein’s Legion of Honor award over the accusations. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took the step Saturday of revoking Weinstein’s membership. It said it did so “to send a message that the era of willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our industry is over.”
■ Pornography publisher Larry Flynt is offering “up to $10 million” to anyone who produces information that leads to President Donald Trump’s impeachment and removal from office. He laid out the offer in a full-page ad in the Sunday edition of The Washington Post. During last year’s presidential campaign, Flynt dangled $1 million to anyone who could turn over video or audio capturing Trump behaving in an illegal or sexually demeaning manner. That followed the release of the 2005 Access Hollywood video in which Trump bragged of imposing himself on women. In Sunday’s ad, Flynt asks for any “smoking gun” that is fit to publish and drives Trump from office. The White House didn’t comment.
