Harvey Weinstein was charged today with sexually assaulting two more women in Beverly Hills.
LA County prosecutors filed three new counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation against the disgraced film producer, who is currently behind bars in New York after being convicted of sexually assaulting two women.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a written statement that she is "thankful to the first women who reported these crimes and whose courage have given strength to others to come forward."
These latest charges involve the alleged rape of a woman at a hotel in Beverly Hills between September 2004 and September 2005 and two alleged attacks on a woman in November 2009 and November 2010 at a hotel in Beverly Hills, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
On January 6, Weinstein, 68, was charged with one count each of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint in connection with alleged crimes involving two women in 2013, and prosecutors subsequently filed a charge of sexual battery by restraint in May involving a third woman at a Beverly Hills hotel in May 2010.
Weinstein could face up to 140 years to life in state prison if convicted as charged, according to the District Attorney's Office.
