Film producer Harvey Weinstein was questioned by police in New York on Saturday, March 28 after a 22-year-old model filed a report against him. The model, whose identity hasn't been revealed, claimed Harvey groped her during a meeting at the Tribeca Film Center on Friday.
Detectives from the Police Department's Special Victims Squad approached Harvey and he voluntarily accompanied the detectives to the First Precinct police station at 5:00 P.M. to be interviewed. "He talked for a while and at one point he stopped talking and decided to retain a lawyer," an official told New York Times.
According to the official, the model claimed Harvey asked her if her breasts were real and then groped her.
Harvey and the model first met on Thursday night at a social event at Radio City Music Hall, where he is producing "New York Spring Spectacular". They later exchanged emails and the model went to Harvey's office at Tribeca Film Center on Friday. The model immediately went to police after the meeting during which she claimed the movie mogul touched her inappropriately.
Harvey has not been charged with any wrongdoing. His representative, Ken Sunshine, told the site, "We are cooperating fully with the authorities and are confident that we will be fully vindicated. We will have no further comment."
