Harvey Weinstein Arraigned On Rape, Sexual Assault Charges

Disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein turned himself in to New York police Friday morning and was arrested on charges that he raped one woman and forced another to perform oral sex on him.

Weinstein, 66, was arraigned on first- and third-degree rape in one case and a first-degree sex act in a second case, a source said. According to reports, he will post a $1 million bail and will be forced to wear an ankle monitor.

More than 75 women have accused Weinstein of wrongdoing around the globe. Several actresses and models accused him of criminal sexual assaults, but many of the encounters happened too long ago for any prosecution. 

He is under investigation for alleged sex crimes in Los Angeles and London. 

Federal prosecutors in New York have started a sex crimes investigation involving him, according to the Wall Street Journal.
