Prosecutors in Los Angeles charged Harvey Weinstein with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in 2013.with sex crimes involving two women Monday, the same day his trial on similar charges began in New York City.
Weinstein is accused of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents spread over two days in 2013. He’s facing felony counts of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint. If convicted, he faces up to 28 years in prison. The names of the accusers were not released.
“We believe the evidence will show that the defendant used his power and influence to gain access to his victims and then commit violent crimes against them,” said L.A. DA Jackie Lacey. “I want to commend the victims who have come forward and bravely recounted what happened to them. It is my hope that all victims of sexual violence find strength and healing as they move forward.”An arraignment date for Weinstein has yet to be set. Prosecutors are recommending a bail of $5 million.
The L.A. DA’s Office added that it, along with police officers in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, will continue to investigate the case. As noted, a spokesman for the DA’s office reportedly said last week that there were eight Weinstein-related cases under review.
