As expected, Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, surrendered to authorities in New York City on Friday. The disgraced Oscar-winning producer is expected to be charged with “sexually assaulting two women: former actress Lucia Evans, and another alleged victim who has not yet been identified,” according to Variety.
Weinstein’s bond has been set at $10 million. He must wear a GPS device and had to surrender his passport.
Manhattan prosecutors will charge Weinstein with first- and third-degree rape in one case and a first-degree sex act in a second case, a source said. He’s expected to appear in court later in the day… Weinstein is also under investigation for alleged sex crimes in Los Angeles and London. Federal prosecutors in New York have started a sex crimes investigation involving him. (Via)
