Hollywood producer and co-founder of Miramax Films Harvey Weinstein has been accused of groping a 22-year-old woman at the Tribeca Film Center on Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan. The incident allegedly took place around 6 p.m. on this past Friday, March 27th.
According to the Daily News, the Italian woman, "who wasn’t identified, told cops that Weinstein, 63, touched her private area and her breasts." A source told the tabloid, “He initiated the contact. He saw her and spoke to her. She didn’t know who he was until he approached her."
Weinstein has been questioned by the NYPD, but no charges have been filed yet. The Manhattan DA's office declined to comment but we'll update when we have more information.
Update: According to a NY Post, the woman "works for a top modeling agency [and] told cops that Weinstein molested her during a meeting." A police source told them, "He asked if [her breasts] were real." She reportedly walking into the 1st Precinct to file the complaint right after the incident occurred.
