Two more women have accused Harvey Weinstein of raping them as the top Hollywood producer finds himself increasingly shunned by his peers.<\/p>\n
British actress Lysette Anthony says he attacked her at her London home in the late 1980s while another, unidentified woman says she was raped in 1992.<\/p>\n
The organisation behind the Oscars has voted to expel Weinstein and his own brother called him “sick and depraved”.<\/p>\n
Weinstein, 65, insists any sexual contacts he had were consensual.<\/p>\n
Police in London are investigating an allegation against Weinstein who is also being investigated by police in New York.<\/p>\n
More than two dozen women – among them actresses Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rose McGowan – have made a number of accusations against him including rape and sexual assault.<\/p>\n
Weinstein has been a huge figure in the film world, where his productions received more than 300 Oscar nominations and won 81.<\/p>\n
Lysette Anthony told\u00a0The Sunday Times\u00a0she had reported an attack by Weinstein to the London Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n
The actress, who stars in the British TV soap Hollyoaks, said she had met the producer when she starred in 1982 sci-fi film Krull and the alleged assault had come a few years later.<\/p>\n
It was a “pathetic, revolting” attack, she said, that had left her “disgusted and embarrassed”.<\/p>\n
The Metropolitan Police said it was passed an allegation of sexual assault, without giving details.<\/p>\n
Separately an unidentified woman told the Mail On Sunday newspaper she had been raped by Weinstein in 1992 when she was working at his film company offices in West London.<\/p>\n
