THREE more allegations of sexual assault committed by film producer Harvey Weinstein are being investigated by police in London, it was reported last night.

The BBC said that the Metropolitan Police have confirmed that a woman who has not been named alleges she was assaulted in Westminster in 2010 and 2011 and in Camden in 2015.

Officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences division were already looking into claims by a woman that she was sexually assaulted by Weinstein in the 1980s.

In other developments in the growing scandal, the British actress Lysette Anthony alleged that she was raped by Weinstein in the 1980s.

Anthony, now 54, told The Sunday Times she met the producer when she starred in the 1982 film Krull and that the alleged assault occurred a few years later.

The Hollyoaks actress said it was a "pathetic, revolting" attack that had left her "disgusted and embarrassed".

On Wednesday Anthony tweeted that she had just reported a historical crime, adding "feel sick... so sad".

The Metropolitan Police said that on the same day, it was passed an allegation of sexual assault by Merseyside Police. The Met said: “The allegation will be assessed by officers from Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command.”

A further allegation was made by an unnamed woman in the Mail on Sunday who said she had been raped by Weinstein in 1992 while working for his Miramax company in London.

Meanwhile the backlash against Weinstein continues to grow. He was expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – they have presented 81 Oscars to his films over more than 20 years – on Saturday.

In a statement issued by the Academy they said the board had "voted well in excess of the required two-thirds majority" to expel Weinstein.

The Academy also said the "era of wilful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behaviour and workplace harassment in our industry is over".

Yesterday Titanic actress Kate Winslet revealed that she deliberately left out the name of Harvey Weinstein from the list of people she thanked when she won the Best Actress Oscar for The Reader in 2009 – the Weinstein Company distributed the film.

She told the Los Angeles Times: "That was deliberate. That was absolutely deliberate.

"I remember being told, 'Make sure you thank Harvey if you win'. And I remember turning around and saying, 'No I won't. No I won't'.

"And it was nothing to do with not being grateful. If people aren't well-behaved, why would I thank him?

"The fact that I'm never going to have to deal with Harvey Weinstein again as long as I live is one of the best things that's ever happened and I'm sure the feeling is universal."

She added: “This kind of treatment of any workplace is utterly unacceptable. And hopefully what will happen is that more women will feel compelled to come forward — these women are victims of crime by a man who was always impossible to deal with. I hope that Harvey Weinstein absolutely is punished within the fullest extent of the law should that be the case.”

Legendary director Woody Allen who worked with Weinstein on several of his films said he is “sad” for the producer.

Allen told the BBC: "No one ever came to me or told me horror stories with any real seriousness. And they wouldn't, because you are not interested in it. You are interested in making your movie.

"But you do hear a million fanciful rumours all the time. And some turn out to be true and some - many - are just stories about this actress, or that actor."

He added: “The whole Harvey Weinstein thing is very sad for everybody involved. Tragic for the poor women that were involved, sad for Harvey that [his] life is so messed up.

"There's no winners in that, it's just very, very sad and tragic for those poor women that had to go through that."

Through his spokeswoman, Weinstein has "unequivocally denied" any allegations of non-consensual sex. The producer, who is currently receiving treatment in a rehabilitation clinic in the USA, has not issued any libel actions.
