NYPD Refers Harvey Weinstein Allegations to Other Departments In The US, Overseas (punt!)

New York City police have referred allegations against disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein to other police departments, the New York Police Department said Thursday.

The referrals were made to jurisdictions in the United States and overseas based on calls to a police hotline about Weinstein, Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said.

Police declined to discuss specifics.

“Several calls have been received on our CrimeStoppers Hotline regarding Mr. Weinstein,” Boyce said. “None of those calls have alleged any criminal conduct within the New York City area.”

Complaints about Weinstein cannot be pursued locally if they involve events that occurred outside New York City.

“Based on these calls, referrals have been made by the NYPD to other jurisdictions, both within the U.S. and overseas, to the appropriate authorities,” Boyce said.

More than three dozen women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, including harassment and assault, but he has not been charged with a crime.

The movie producer has acknowledged inappropriate behavior, but has "unequivocally denied" any allegations of non-consensual sex, his spokesman said.

Still bowing to outside pressure from Hollywood. I’m sure they have many skeletons on the power structure of NY leaders.

I never watched the TV series, “Entourage” but they had a recurring character based on Weinstein:

His slightly altered name is Harvey WeinGARD and HERE is a compendium of the stuff he does.

I have good reason to believe these situations are only slight variations on stuff that really happened.

I thought their explanation was that the calls were coming from all over the United States, not just in NYC. They are referring cases to the jurisdiction on the other end of the calls, since the crimes allegedly occurred there, not in New York.

You are correct, sir, but don’t look for it to do any good.

“Don’t blame us, Harvey. We’re not going to do anything. But It’s out of our hands.”

So, will the lefties in Hollywood be upset with the lefties politicians for not doing anything?

Although if anyone else committed these acts they would be prosecuted as crimes, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute the crimes in this matter.
