Last month, LA County district attorney Jackie Lacey filed four new charges of sexual assault against Weinstein, including forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of restraint and sexual battery by restraint. Weinstein has denied the allegations.

The new charges stem from allegations made by two women who claimed Weinstein assaulted them in separate incidents in hotels in Beverly Hills and West LA in 2013, the LA Times reported.

One of the women, a former model and actress who has not been publicly identified, alleges Weinstein assaulted her at Mr C’s Beverly Hills hotel in 2013. She previously described the alleged incident to the LA Times, saying Weinstein “grabbed me by the hair and forced me to do something I did not want to do”.
