Jailed American former film producer, Harvey Weinstein is facing another sex attack claim in Britain.
Scotland Yard is investigating a report by a woman that he sexually assaulted her in Westminster in the 1990s, bringing the total number of women who have made allegations in the UK against the disgraced former movie producer to 12.
This comes as the Daily Mail has learnt a High Court compensation claim of more than £300,000 brought by six victims has been discontinued, sparking speculation a substantial settlement has been reached out of court.
One victim alleged Weinstein sexually assaulted her at London’s Savoy Hotel.
The woman, then one of his employees, said she was ‘summoned to the hotel’ where she was left alone with Weinstein, according to court documents.
Another accused him of a number of assaults, including at least one in a London hotel.
The woman, employed by both UK and US entities of The Weinstein Company, said she was required to meet him at Heathrow Airport.
She had to accompany Weinstein to a hotel where he “removed his clothes and sexually assaulted her,” according to documents in the claim.
