Harvey Weinstein has been charged in Los Angeles with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another woman in separate incidents across two days in 2013
Photo: Kena Betancur/Getty Images One day before Harvey Weinstein’s rape and sexual-assault trial is supposed to start in New York City, Los Angeles district attorney Jackie Lacey announced that Weinstein has been charged with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another woman in separate incidents across two days in 2013.
“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,” Lacey said in a statement. “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.”
After the proceeding, one of Weinstein’s lawyers said that the request was related to the sexual-misconduct investigation in Los Angeles.
