Three British women have now made claims of sexual assault against shamed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, Scotland Yard have said.
The Met are now investigating five allegations involving the disgraced Hollywood producer, dating back to the late 1980s.
A third alleged victim came forward on Sunday evening with claims Weinstein assaulted her in Westminster in 1992, police said.
Earlier, Scotland Yard confirmed three allegations were made relating to sexual assaults in London in 2010, 2011 and 2015.

Actress Ms Anthony claimed she was raped by the disgraced movie mogul at her London home in Chelsea. She described the alleged attack as "pathetic and revolting" and said it left her feeling “disgusted and embarrassed”.

Dozens of actresses, including Hollywood A-listers Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow, have made accusations of sexual harassment abuse against the 65-year-old producer.
