Harvey Weinstein has been charged in Los Angeles with rape and sexual assault.

Weinstein faces four counts of sexual assault in Los Angeles County, in addition to the similar charges laid against him in New York City. The jury selection for that trial began Monday.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office filed charges of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint, according to a Monday news release. Arraignment will be scheduled for a later date.

The alleged attacks took place in two separate incidents over a two-day period in 2013.

Weinstein was charged with sexual assault of two unidentified women in 2013, said Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey. He was charged with raping one woman and sexually assaulting the other.

“We believe the evidence will show that the defendant used his power and influence to gain access to his victims and then commit violent crimes against them,” Lacey said.
