The NYPD is readying to arrest Harvey Weinstein for felony sexual assault, after investigating five different allegations against the disgraced producer in the New York area.
‘We’re ready to go with an arrest,’ an NYPD official told The Daily Beast. While Chief Robert Boyce says they have gathered considerable evidence in the investigation into Weinstein.
It is now up to the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance to decide whether the disgraced media mogul gets indicted.
‘It’s his case right now,’ Chief Boyce said of Vance, ‘I would ask you to ask him … his schedule … where it goes forward.’
The district attorney’s office had no comment.
Boyce said investigators have been working diligently with women who have alleged Weinstein raped them.
The probe stems in part from a report in October by ‘Boardwalk Empire’ actress Paz de la Huerta, who said she Weinstein raped her twice in 2010. She also spoke publicly.
In another incident in New York, Lucia Evans’ account was detailed in Ronan Farrow’s bombshell New Yorker expose in 2017.
Evans said she was a college student interested in an acting career when she met Weinstein at the Cipriani Upstairs nightspot in 2004.
She told Farrow, and the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit, that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex during a daytime meeting at his office.
‘I said, over and over, ‘I don’t want to do this, stop, don’t,’ she told Farrow. ‘He’s a big guy. He overpowered me.’
SVU has also been speaking to de la Huerta.
Evans’ case is apparently the stronger of the two cases being pursued, however detectives found both women believable.
Detectives have since traveled to Paris and Los Angeles to interview de la Huerta and others.
They have sought cellphone, business and medical records. Witnesses were prepared to testify before a grand jury, which would determine whether Weinstein is indicted, Boyce said. The proceeding is secret.
