She is one of around 80 women alleging harassment, sexual assault or rape by Harvey Weinstein. He has always denied having non-consensual sex. He faces a criminal trial in the New Year centred around the allegations of two of the women. We put Ms Anthony’s new claims to him today and his representative told us that “allegations are not certainties.” They said that Mr Weinstein has the right to due process and the presumption of innocence in his upcoming trial.
