Longtime Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein will likely be arrested Friday by investigators in New York following a lengthy investigation into multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, according to a report Thursday.
Weinstein, who faces accusations of rape, assault, and other forms of sexual misconduct, is expected to comply with investigators and will be charged by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, the New York Times reports.
At a minimum, the charges will stem from accusations of at least one victim, Lucia Evans. Evans claims that Weinstein coerced her to perform oral sex on him nearly 15 years ago.
It unknown if charges related to other accusers will be filed at this time, and it’s also uncertain which charges exactly are likely to be filed against him.
Manhattan prosecutors are also probing accusations made against Weinstein by actress Paz de la Huerta, who claimed Weinstein raped her in 2010.
The flurry of accusations against Weinstein began last fall when the New York Times reported on multiple settlements Weinstein reached with multiple women over multiple decades.
