The latest charges include allegations of assault and rape against women in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles hotels from 2004 to 2013, which he has denied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love and Pulp Fiction producer claims his sexual encounters were consensual, and his lawyer told the press the latest round of West Coast allegations “stem from many years ago” and cannot “be substantiated or corroborated by any forensic evidence” or “credible witnesses”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
