"Three cases were presented to our office on Feb. 1 by the Los Angeles Police Department regarding Mr. Weinstein and are under review," Greg Risling, a spokesman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, said in a statement. Representatives for the Los Angeles Police Department declined immediate comment on the three cases cited by the District Attorney's Office. Los Angeles police in October said they were investigating a 2013 allegation of sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein. The following month, Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey said she had assigned some veteran sex crime prosecutors to a task force to look into allegations of sexual assault in Hollywood. The New York Times in October reported on allegations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein, before the Los Angeles Police Department revealed its investigation.
