Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said he expects his department — which already is handling more than two dozen allegations of sexual misconduct by Hollywood figures — to investigate even more. “We anticipate the LAPD and other jurisdictions will receive even more high profile sex crime reports in the coming weeks and months,” Beck said in an email. The department also has taken 37 other sex crimes reports that it has sent to other law enforcement agencies, believing the alleged crimes occurred in those jurisdictions. The LAPD has established five teams of two detectives to exclusively investigate allegations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood. Beck said his department is committed to looking into all allegations made by those who feel they were victimized.
