The LAPD has submitted three sexual abuse cases against Harvey Weinstein to the L.A. County District Attorney’s office for possible charges, a spokesman said Thursday.
No details of the allegations were released. The LAPD has previously acknowledged that it was investigating a claim that Weinstein raped an Italian model at a hotel in 2013. The LAPD also said it was investigating an allegation that Weinstein committed “lewd acts” in 2015.
The LAPD submitted the three cases on Feb. 1. The D.A.’s office can choose to file a case or decline to prosecute, but it may also request additional investigation or refer cases to the city attorney’s office for possible misdemeanor prosecution.
The D.A.’s office is also considering two other cases against Weinstein that were submitted by the Beverly Hills Police Department.

But....But....I WENT TO REHAB! I’M CURED!!!!!
“lewd acts”..... such as wanking off onto a potted plant???
They call that the “Harvey Special”
Yes. That would constitute a lewd act in California.
I’m betting that Weinstein isn’t going to skate. They are going to go after him.
Penal Code 243.4 PC "sexual battery" prohibits touching the intimate part of another for sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse.53 The difference between this law and Penal Code 288 "lewd acts with a minor" is that "sexual battery" makes no mention of the victim's age.
A "sexual battery" charge under Penal Code 243.4 may be filed as either a misdemeanor or as a felony.
P.S. In California, the statute of limitations for most sexual assaults is 10 years.
That’s true. Those are felonies, not misdemeanors.
Agreed ... I was merely applying the template :-)
True. But if the incident is reported after a year has passed, the misdemeanor cannot be filed. It must be filed as a felony, then perhaps later it can be reduced to a misdemeanor.
I understood. I don’t think he gets the Hillary treatment.
For soliciting prostitutes?
Cops just getting around to dealing with this...
Thanks Enterprise. I've begun to think about Robespierre each time one of these stories emerge.
