Harvey Weinstein set to turn himself in on sex crime charges in New York
- Share via
Harvey Weinstein is expected to surrender to authorities Friday to face charges related to alleged sexual misconduct, the Daily News has confirmed.
The charges are in connection to a probe by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and New York Police Department. The fallen former Hollywood mogul is facing charges in connection to at least one accuser — Lucia Evans — who reported to investigators that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2004, sources said.
Because of the nature of the allegations, the statute of limitations does not apply.
A special grand jury was also being presented with evidence related to possible financial fraud against Weinstein but it was not immediately clear if the charges include money mishandling allegations.
The grand jury hearing Weinstein evidence was convened weeks ago, sources told the Daily News.
Weinstein has denied any wrongdoing.
His attorney Benjamin Brafman declined to comment Thursday.
