"We are cooperating fully with the authorities, and are confident that we will be fully vindicated. We will have no further comment," Ken Sunshine, Weinstein's rep, said in a statement.
According to reports, a 22-year-old woman is claiming that Weinstein, 63, persuaded her to meet him at his Manhattan office under the pretext that they were to talk business.
"It was being investigated by the police department but at this time it is now with the Manhattan District Attorney's office to see where it is going to proceed to," the New York Police Department confirmed to ET on Tuesday.
