Harvey Weinstein has been hit with six new sexual assault charges in his Los Angeles criminal case, the L.A. District Attorney’s Office announced on Friday.
The amended complaint added an additional three felony counts of forcible rape and three felony counts of forcible oral copulation; Weinstein now faces a total of four counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation, two counts of sexual battery by restraint and one count of sexual penetration by use of force. If convicted, Weinstein faces up to 140 years to life in prison.
The six new charges stem from accusations that Weinstein raped a woman at a Beverly Hills hotel between September 2004 and 2005 and raped another woman, twice, in November 2009 and November 2010 at a Beverly Hills hotel.
