Harvey Weinstein charged with rape, criminal sex act in attacks on 2 women

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was charged with rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct in incidents on two separate women after turning himself in to the New York City Police Department on Friday.

The NYPD detailed Weinstein's pending charges in a statement released to Fox News.

"The NYPD thanks these brave survivors for their courage to come forward and seek justice. The arrest and ensuing charges are the result of a joint investigation between the NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office," the statement said. "Additional information will be provided as it becomes available."

Weinstein arrived in a black SUV and didn’t reply as news crews that were staked out in the area called out his name. He wore a blue V-neck sweater with a blazer and dress pants as he walked inside. Weinstein carried several books with him, one of which  was "Something Wonderful: Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway Revolution" by Todd S. Purdum.
