Benjamin Brafman, a lawyer for Weinstein, declined to comment on the report when contacted Thursday.

More than 70 women have accused the co-founder of the Miramax studio and The Weinstein Co with sexual misconduct including rape, allegations that gave rise to the #MeToo movement in which hundreds of women have publicly accused powerful men in business, government, and entertainment.

Weinstein has denied having non-consensual sex with anyone.
