Prosecutors in Los Angeles have charged convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein with an additional count of felony sexual battery by restraint, which allegedly stemmed from an incident at a Beverly Hills hotel in May 2010, Fox News has confirmed. “We are continuing to build and strengthen our case,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a news release on Friday. “As we gather corroborating evidence, we have reached out to other possible sexual assault victims.
If we find new evidence of a previously unreported crime, as we did here, we will investigate and determine whether additional criminal charges should be filed.” The new charge has been added to a Los Angeles case that alleges Weinstein sexually assaulted two women in.
