In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, numerous women have (and continue to) come forward with allegations about the former Hollywood executive’s history of sexual harassment, assault and rape. He’s not the only one. Dozens of brave women and men have spoken out in recent weeks with similar accusations about Kevin Spacey, filmmaker and producer James Toback, and others.

But this case is different from many others; the New York Police Department could bring felony charges against Weinstein based on de la Huerta’s allegations.
