Based on information referenced in published news reports the NYPD is conducting a review to determine if there are any additional complaints relating to the Harvey Weinstein matter. No filed complaints have been identified as of this time and as always, the NYPD encourages anyone who may have information pertaining to this matter to call the CrimeStoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
As the NYPD notes, there have been no formal criminal complaints filed against Weinstein, but the police department is encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
Per Variety, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office investigated Weinstein in 2015 after model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez publicly accused the studio exec of groping her and putting his hands up her skirt without consent. Her account is one of three that made up the New Yorker article that revealed the sexual assault allegations against Weinstein. A sting operation yielded a taped confession from Weinstein for his assault of Gutierrez, but Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. chose not to press charges. If that name is familiar, it’s probably because you saw the story about how Vance Jr. also decided not to pursue felony fraud charges against Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. in 2010.
