After allegations of Weinstein’s sexual misconduct surfaced in early October 2017, more than 50 women have now come forward to accuse him of rape, sexual assault or sexual harassment. It’s alleged that he coerced women into sexual favours by using his power and influence over their career success.
Stars such as Ashley Judd, Annabella Sciorra, Angelina Jolie and Rose McGowan have come forward with allegations about Weinstein. UK actress Lysette Anthony alleged that she was attacked in the 1980’s; this allegation is being investigated by The Met Police.
The NYPD is investigating a rape allegation made by Paz De La Huerta and have stated they plan to arrest him.
Weinstein has admitted that his past behaviour may have caused pain but described many of the allegations as ‘patently false’ and has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex, or any acts of retaliation upon being rejected.
