Ever since Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of rape and sexual assault, his legal team has been seeking an appeal to his 23-year sentence. However, according to Variety, a New York appeals court denied any further disputes in regards to overturning the former producer’s conviction. The outlet also reported that Weinstein is currently being held in Los Angeles where he is slated to face an additional 11 sexual assault-related charges.
And, that’s not all. It appears the “Shakespeare in Love” producer not only flaunted his unwarranted behavior in the United States but in the U.K. as well. According to CBS News, London’s Metropolitan Police are charging Weinstein with two counts of indecent assault. The woman who was allegedly assaulted by Weinstein reports the series of events that took place in the summer of 1996.
“Charges have been authorized against Harvey Weinstein, 70, following a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation,” Rosemary Ainslie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division said in a statement obtained by the outlet.
