Harvey Weinstein slapped with more rape charges
Disgraced
Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein was hit with three additional counts of
rape and three counts of forcible oral copulation today, October 2.
Weinstein’s
latest charged involve two women; one who alleges he raped her at a Beverly
Hills Hotel between September 2004 and September 2005, and another who claims
he raped her twice between November 2009 and November 2010 at a hotel in the
city.
In total,
Weinstein, 68, now faces 11 felony counts, involving five women, in Los Angeles
County.
He is
currently serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York for rape and sexual
assault of two women.
Los
Angeles prosecutors started the process to extradite to California him, but last
month agreed to delay it due to the coronavirus pandemic.
