New accuser claims Harvey Weinstein forced her to perform sex act in mid 90s
The convicted sex offender is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A new accuser has stepped forward and filed a complaint against convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
According to the Daily News, a 61-year-old woman filed a complaint with the NYPD Special Victims Division alleging that in 1995 or 1996, while at a Manhattan nightclub with Weinstein, he forced her to perform oral sex on him.
Detectives are now investigating the accusation, according to sources. The alleged assault is considered a first-degree criminal sexual act and has no statute of limitations on prosecution. A rep for Weinstein did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
