Harvey Weinstein is three steps closer to seeing the inside of a jail cell after new sex crime charges were sent to the Los Angeles County District Attorney last week.

The Los Angeles Police Department sent three reports to District Attorney Jackie Lacey on February 1, a little over three months after the first woman came forward to report sex crime charges to police in the city.

That brings the total number of cases currently being reviewed by the office to five spokesperson Greg Risling confirmed to DailyMail.com, with Beverly Hills police having submitted two reports as well back in December.

There are also ongoing investigations in New York and London, but still no criminal charges have been filed against Weinstein.

The LAPD and Lacey have been incredibly proactive in their investigations, and formed a special task force to look into the allegations being made against Hollywood heavyweights last year.

In addition to Weinstein, directors James Toback and Brett Ratner, actors Ed Westwick and Danny Masterson and agent Adam Venit have all been investigated following allegations of sexual assault.

There have been no criminal charges filed against any of those men at this time in California.

'In response to the widespread allegations of sexual abuse in the entertainment industry, I have established a task force of specially trained deputy district attorneys who are ready to evaluate these cases if any are referred to my office for criminal prosecution,' Lacey said back in November.

'I have assigned the group of veteran sex crimes prosecutors to work together to ensure a uniformed approach to the legal review and possible prosecution of any case that meets both the legal and factual standards for criminal prosecution.'

That group was assembled approximately three weeks after a 38-year-old Italian-model and actress told the robbery and homicide division she had been raped in 2013 by Weinstein.

'He ... bullied his way into my hotel room, saying, "I’m not going to [have sex with] you, I just want to talk,"' the alleged victim told the Los Angeles Times after she spoke with police.

'Once inside, he asked me questions about myself, but soon became very aggressive and demanding and kept asking to see me naked.'

The actress then stated: 'He grabbed me by the hair and forced me to do something I did not want to do. He then dragged me to the bathroom and forcibly raped me.'

She is keeping her identity private at this time for the sake of her three children, and revealed that she showed Weinstein photos of them at one point during the alleged assault in hopes that it would convince him to stop.

California had a 10 year statute of limitations for rape cases which has made it difficult to file any charges on a number of these cases, but not this one should there be enough evidence.

It was after the the 8th annual Los Angeles, Italia Film, Fashion and Art Fest in February 2013 that the alleged incident occurred at the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel.

The woman accusing Weinstein said they had met once before in Rome through a mutual acquaintance, and that he invited her to his hotel room at that time.

Weinstein did not show any signs to suggest that he remembered the woman, so she was shocked she said when he turned up inside the lobby of her hotel later that night.

She told him she would meet him downstairs, but soon he was knocking at the door.

The alleged assault lasted 45 minutes according to the victim, who said that when it was over Weinstein acted nonchalant about the incident.

'When he left, he acted like nothing happened,' said the woman.

'I barely knew this man. It was the most demeaning thing ever done to me by far. It sickens me still.'

She later stated: 'He made me feel like an object, like nothing with all his power.'

The woman went on to say she regretted not calling police and came forward after getting encouragement from her son.

'You just need to be strong, Mom,' said the young boy according to his mother, who was 4 at the time of the assault.

Weinstein has repeatedly denied all allegations of sexual assault.
