Los Angeles police are investigating allegations about Weinstein that occurred in 2015, but spokesperson Josh Rubenstein said he could not provide any additional details. Authorities in Beverly Hills and London are also investigating Weinstein for possible criminal cases. The accusations against Weinstein have prompted numerous allegations of sexual harassment and abuse against powerful men in Hollywood and other industries. While the outcome of criminal investigations into allegations against Weinstein remains unclear, the producer may have to give sworn testimony in a lawsuit he filed against his former company. The judge said Weinstein could be deposed, even though his attorney said a deposition would be "tricky" and "fraught with problems," given the ongoing criminal investigations.
