UPDATED with details of charges: As expected, Harvey Weinstein turned himself in to the New York Police Department at the 1st Precinct in Tribeca Friday morning to face criminal charges [of RAPE] stemming from multiple sexual assault allegations.
Facing potentially years behind bars, sources say Weinstein is likely looking at first degree and third degree rape charges and a first degree criminal sexual act charge from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
 
Once the most powerful producer in Hollywood, Weinstein exited the precinct house at about 8:45 am ET in handcuffs, escorted into a waiting car.

The NYPD issued a statement saying he had been arrested and charged with rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse, and sexual misconduct for incidents involving two separate women. More
  
They forgot all about me. - James Tobak
His crafty smart lawyer orchestrated it so that Weinstein would turn himself in on a Friday before a long holiday weekend when no one in the media is paying attention. That's the kind of attorney lots of money will buy a person. With rich Bill Crosby facing possible prison time, Weinstein may be worried...so worried he can't eat. Look how thin he is compared to the fattened pig he normally resembles.
 
Morgan Freeman denies accusations
Hey, why not pick on Morgan?
Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman said in a statement Friday night that he was "devastated that 80 years" of his life was "at risk of being undermined, in the blink of an eye" by reports that eight people had come forward accusing the actor of harassing them, or of making inappropriate comments while on movie sets or during promotional activities.

In his second statement issued since the report, Freeman denied the sexual misconduct allegations against him. "I did not create unsafe work environments," said Freeman. "I did not assault women. I did not offer employment or advancement in exchange for sex. Any suggestion that I did so is completely false." More + VIDEO
