New York police are reopening a 2004 investigation into an allegation of assault made against film producer Harvey Weinstein. | |
Officials have not released details of the alleged assault, but are said to be investigating whether the victim was sexually assault. | |
In response to a number of allegations made against Mr Weinstein in a New Yorker piece earlier this week A spokesman for Mr Weinstein, Sallie Hofmeister, said that “any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein”. | |
“Mr Weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances.” | |
She added: “He will not be available for further comments, as he is taking the time to focus on his family, on getting counselling and rebuilding his life.” | |
