The hits keep coming for disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein as British authorities announce they are investigating two more claims of sexual assault against him.
According to the Daily Mail, the latest allegations come from the same woman and include a 2011 incident in Westminster and another incident she said occurred outside of the United Kingdom.
The woman filed a police report late last year, after Weinstein had already been accused of numerous misdeeds.
Her complaint marked the ninth alleged victim to present such report to British police. Authorities are investigating at least 14 total allegations nationwide against the former movie mogul.
“On 13 November an allegation was received that the man sexually assaulted a woman (Victim 9) in Westminster in 2011 and outside the jurisdiction of the UK in 2010,” a Scotland Yard statement revealed.
The alleged incident that occurred outside of U.K. jurisdiction, the statement explained, “will be passed to the relevant police force in due course.”
News of the latest charges came the same week that Uma Thurman, an actress who worked closely with Weinstein throughout her early career, finally opened up about her experience with him.
She added to the hundreds of already existing claims, describing multiple alleged incidents including the first time she realized his behavior was inexcusable.
“It was such a bat to the head,” Thurman said. “He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things. But he didn’t actually put his back into it and force me. You’re like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard. I was doing anything I could to get the train back on the track. My track. Not his track.”
In a New York Times interview, Thurman also expressed remorse for the role she believes she played in setting the stage for other victims who worked with Weinstein after her.
In a statement released through attorney Ben Brafman, Weinstein denied the “Pulp Fiction” star’s claims.
“Harvey is stunned and saddened by what he claims to be false accusations by Uma Thurman, someone he has worked closely with for more than two decades,” Brafman said. “Mr. Weinstein acknowledges making an awkward pass at Ms. Thurman 25 years ago which he regrets and immediately apologized for.”
