Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is charged with six more counts of sexual assault against five victims.
This was revealed today (Friday) by the Los Angeles District Attorney.
Weinstein, 68, is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York after being convicted of rape and other sexual offenses last March.

The new offenses, allegedly committed against five different women, are attributed to cases that occurred in Los Angeles between 2004 and 2013.
One of the offenses attributed to Weinstein is rape.
"I am grateful to the first women who reported the cases and who had the courage to show others the way," District Attorney Jackie Lacey said.
One case relates to an alleged rape committed at a hotel in Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2005. Weinstein is also accused of raping a woman in two different cases in November 2009 and November 2010, also at a hotel in Beverly Hills.
