Los Angeles County prosecutors on Monday are expected to announce criminal charges against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the case.
Charges in Los Angeles would only deepen the legal peril facing Weinstein, who appeared in a downtown Manhattan courtroom Monday. Jury selection will begin Tuesday in his trial there. Weinstein is charged with first-degree rape, two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of first-degree sexual assault and one count of third-degree rape. Mimi Haleyi, a former production assistant for Weinstein’s company, has accused the mogul of assaulting her in 2006.
He has denied any wrongdoing, and his attorneys have repeatedly tried to paint most of the encounters as consensual. In the case of the Italian model, his attorneys say he never went to her hotel room.
