Hollywood Harvey Weinstein sexual allegations now from seven women

UK police investigating Harvey Weinstein are now looking at sexual assault allegations from seven women.

The investigation spans separate incidents alleged to have taken place between the 1980s and 2015 both in London as well as outside of the UK.

The Hollywood film producer has “unequivocally denied” all allegations of non-consensual sex.

No arrests have been made over any of the allegations at this stage so far, the Metropolitan Police said.

• The earliest allegation is of an assault which it is claimed took place in the early 1980s outside of the UK. Scotland Yard will pass the allegation on to the local police force in due course.
• The second woman claiming she was assaulted by Weinstein where the incident took place in west London in the late 1980s, with a third woman alleging she was sexually assaulted in Westminster in 1992.
• A fourth alleged victim claims she was assaulted in 1994, also in Westminster, with a fifth alleging an assault took place on her in the same London borough in the mid-1990s.
• Police are investigating two allegations of assault by a sixth woman in Westminster in 2010 / 2011,  plus an assault alleged in Camden in 2015.
• A seventh woman claims she was assaulted outside of the UK in 2012 and twice further in 2013 and 2014 in Westminster. Police will pass on the 2012 allegation to the relevant force.

The names of the complainants or alleged offences at this stage are currently kept secret.

Numerous allegations have been made against the movie mogul by women including actresses Angelina Jolie, Rose McGowan and Gwyneth Paltrow.

On Tuesday, the Producers Guild of America said Weinstein had been banned for life over reports of his “decades of reprehensible conduct”.

Actress Rose McGowan says she was offered $1m (£760,000) from Harvey Weinstein in exchange for her silence.

McGowan says she turned down the money the day before the New York Times ran an expose on the movie mogul earlier this month.
