BREAKING: NYC police say they have a credible rape allegation against Harvey Weinstein, are gathering evidence for possible arrest.
AP Eastern U.S. (@APEastRegion) November 3, 2017

The development comes after allegations from actress Paz de la Huerta, who says Weinstein sexually assaulted her multiple times.

I was so terrified of him she told Vanity Fair in an article published Thursday . I did say no, and when he was on top of me I said, I dont want to do this. He kept humping me and it was disgusting. Hes like a pig. ... He raped me.

De la Huerta told investigators Weinstein forcefully raped her after 2006. Thats of particular interest to authorities, as it falls within the statute of limitations for New York.

I believe based on my interviews with Paz that from the NYPD standpoint we have enough to make an arrest, detective Nicholas DiGaudio, who is leading the departments Weinstein investigation, told the outlet.
