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 Hammerstein’s Broadway Revolution by Todd S. Purdum, which was released in April.
The other appeared to be Richard Schickel’s 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 Weinstein’s arrest was the result of a joint investigation between the NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
Weinstein left the police station in handcuffs at roughly 8.50 a.m. ET

Guaranteed the third isn’t the King James Bible.
Congrats. One friend has his shirts made with front pockets big enough to hold his Kindles.
First picture makes me think that ‘ol Harvey STILL has not figured it out.
He would do well to start carrying a Bible, and reading it. He could learn about salvation in Jesus Christ and change the trajectory of his life, which is currently bound for hell.
Actually, I want to read that one myself.
How is someone supposed to defend himself (or herself) against an alleged crime that took place in a private setting fourteen years ago?
[The Death of a Salesman]
After I won the Tony for “Scarsdale Surprise” I told a group of aspiring actors it was my idea to change the title to “The Life of a Salesman”.
I can’t tell you how good it feels to win!
The Democrat crime machine.

Perhaps he misunderstood just exactly what the term “police booking” meant.
No doubt a copy of Big ‘Uns he borrowed from Al Bundy.
Man, looking at Weinstein top pic, I’m convinced those woman would bang a baboon if they felt they’d get some cash or fame out of the deal.
Gak~
LOL! I can imagine what condition they are in. The pages probably stick together.
The popular myth is that Elia Kazan became a Hollywood pariah after “naming names.” Nothing could be further from the truth. He later wrote a number of books some of which were turned into movies. Appears the deal was he would take the rap for others and they helped him stay afloat.

Nah. Sometimes the easiest explanation is the real explanation - he was holding them when he was arrested.

My comment to you:
Whut?
I am sure all people who surrender to be booked carry in 3 coffee table size books with them. It's such a boring day, you know, getting your mugshot taken, searched, fingerprinted, and going before a judge for an arraignment before they fit you with your ankle bracelet after you submit a $2 million bond.
Yaaaawn. So routine for millions of us.
