Harvey Weinstein : NYPD investigated sex assault complaint against producer in 2015
Harvey Weinstein
Multiple women have accused  Harvey Weinstein  of sexual assault in a new report from The New Yorker magazine.
Reporter Ronan Farrow said he was told by 13 women of alleged assault or harassment during the magazine's 10-month investigation. Others  including actresses Mira Sorvino and Rosanna Arquette  told the magazine they believe they were removed from projects and their careers suffered after rejecting  Weinstein 's advances.
A spokesperson for the beleaguered movie executive told The New Yorker: "Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by  Mr. Weinstein ."
" Mr. Weinstein  has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances.  Mr. Weinstein  obviously can’t speak to anonymous allegations  but with respect to any women who have made allegations on the record   Mr. Weinstein  believes that all of these relationships were consensual " according to the full statement from Weinstein's spokesperson. " Mr. Weinstein  has begun counseling  has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path.  Mr. Weinstein  is hoping that  if  he  makes enough progress   he  will be given a second chance.”
Farrow's reporting in the magazine is also supported with a recording obtained from a New York Police Department sting operation from 2015 involving  Weinstein  and Italian model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez.
In the recording  the model asked  Weinstein  why  he  had groped her breasts the day before.  He  replied  "Oh  please  I’m sorry  just come on in. I’m used to that. Come on. Please " according to the magazine.
As the recording continues   Weinstein  tries to convince her to come into  his  hotel room while  he  showers  despite her protests. After a nearly 2-minute encounter   he  agrees to let Gutierrez leave.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office decided not to file charges after a two-week investigation and  Weinstein  was never prosecuted. Gutierrez subsequently signed a highly-restrictive nondisclosure agreement with  Weinstein   The New Yorker reported  including an "affidavit stating that the acts  Weinstein  admits to in the recording never happened."
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told ABC News in statement today  "If we could have prosecuted  Harvey Weinstein  for the conduct that occurred in 2015  we would have.  Mr. Weinstein’s  pattern of mistreating women  as recounted in recent reports  is disgraceful and shocks the conscience."
The New Yorker report was published two days after  Weinstein  was terminated by the company which bears his name.
Though  Weinstein  admitted immediately that  he  had "caused a lot of pain" and apologized for  his  inappropriate behavior   his  lawyer Charles Harder claimed The Times report "relies on mostly hearsay accounts and a faulty report" and was "saturated with false and defamatory statements." Harder has said that  he  is preparing a lawsuit against the newspaper  and on Tuesday  referred all questions about  Weinstein  to the movie mogul's publicist.
 Weinstein 's representative did not respond to ABC News' request for comment  nor did a spokeswoman for the Weinstein Company.
