Harvey Weinstein has been formally charged with rape and sexual abuse after turning himself in to police in New York.
It’s the first criminal case against the disgraced Hollywood producer, who was first accused of sexual misconduct seven months ago.
Here’s what we know about the charges and what comes next.
Weinstein has been charged with two counts of rape and one count of a criminal sexual act.
The rape charge involves a woman who has not come forward publicly.
He’s accused of confining her in a Manhattan hotel room and raping her in 2013, according to a court complaint.
The criminal sex act charge stems from a 2004 encounter between Weinstein and Lucia Evans, a then-aspiring actress.
Evans told The New Yorker magazine he forced her to perform oral sex during a daytime meeting in his office.
The prosecutor told the court Weinstein had used his position, money and power to lure young women into situations where he was able to violate them sexually.
