Harvey Weinstein surrendered at a New York City police station shortly before 7.30 a.m. Friday, where he was arrested and charged with rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving two separate women.
The disgraced movie mogul, 66, was filmed and photographed arriving at the police station flanked by uniformed police officers and with a limp. He was also carrying three books, two of which TIME has identified.
One of the books was Something Wonderful: Rodgers and Hammersteins Broadway Revolution by Todd S. Purdum, which was released in April.
The other appeared to be Richard Schickels biography of the controversial director and producer Elia Kazan, known for pioneering stage productions of A Streetcar Named Desire and Death of a Salesman, as well as the movies On the Waterfront and East of Eden. Kazan, whose films earned a total of 21 Academy Awards, testified in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952, where he named eight colleagues who, like himself, had been communists in the 1930s. Kazan is among the most well-known examples of a top Hollywood figure whose behavior toward others in the industry turned him into a persona non grata.
The third book appeared to be leather-bound, and was possibly a journal or notebook.
In a statement, the New York Police Department thanked the brave survivors for their courage to come forward and seek justice, and said Weinsteins arrest was the result of a joint investigation between the NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorneys Office.
Weinstein left the police station in handcuffs at roughly 8.50 a.m. ET

Good luck with that! Harvey Weinsteins lawyer sends heads to desks with casting couch defense [video]
His lawyer is pretty stupid.
And a massive leather bound personal journal. Just in case I want to jot down a few mental observations of what it is like to be photographed, booked, fingerprinted, and handcuffed.
Lock them all up.
I agree with your assessment. Kazan identified several actors and writers who were Communists to the House Committee on Un-American Activities. You have to wonder if what Weinstein could reveal has to do with sexual perversion, particularly child molestation, or Satanic worship. The Left won the battle for Hollywood decades ago, so an exposure of leftism would be a big yawner.
Maybe these are productions he’s considering for his stint in the POKEy.
He’s lining up future roommates, I mean INMATES, for top roles, NOW!!
Pervey thinking ahead.
There’s no biz like showbiz.
Hmmmmm....as in a PLEA deal? Sing like a dirty BIRD?
He's probably got smut magazines inserted in those books.
Yes I'm sure he was sending a message. I'll bet the pages in those books are so sticky that they have been bound together for a long time. He brought them to court in case they needed some DNA samples.
He thinks he's powerful and can threaten people with real power. If that's the case, he might find himself mysteriously dying in his cell.
He's a smart and powerful man. In the event that he loses in court, I imagine he will announce that he identifies as a woman and demand incarceration in a women's prison. He'd get it too. Most of his cellmates will be as happy with the arrangements as most of his actresses were.
As for bringing books when he turns himself in to police, I imagine there was an element of signaling, but I imagine he also expected to wait around a lot for no reason and wanted something to do. Police stations are dull places in the mornings.

I don’t think he’s going to loose this...
Weinstein wants the same “deal” that Epstein got: he was allowed out of “jail” for up to 16 hours a day, 6 days a week. He only had to sleep in his “cell”, which was a private room that he furnished himself. He even was allowed to travel all over the nation and to other countries while “incarcerated.”
They pay big bucks for that but yes if he doesn’t get off he’ll get off one way or another.
claims from the gal.... Lucia Evans, she alleged that in ‘2004’ Weinstein made her engage in oral sex.
“I said, over and over, ‘I don’t want to do this, stop, don’t,’” she told the outlet. “I tried to get away, but maybe I didn’t try hard enough. I didn’t want to kick him or fight him.”
She didn’t report the incident to the police at the time, telling The New Yorker that she blamed herself for not fighting back.
Gets a bit quirky with over 800
Todd Purdum, boy does that bring back memories. Just one, from 2009, involves McCain, too...
