Harvey Weinstein 'under investigation'
- 6 years ago
Harvey Weinstein is reportedly under federal investigation in New York.
The 66-year-old media mogul - who has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women - is being subjected to a criminal probe by the US attorney's office, who are also said to be looking into whether the producer "enticed or persuaded any women to cross state lines with the intent of committing a sex crime", a potentially federal offence, the Wall Street Journal reported.
He is also under investigation for rape by the Los Angeles Police Department, and police in the UK have widened an investigation into the producer to include allegations of sexual assault by seven women.
