New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman has opened a civil rights investigation into the Weinstein Co., the Associated Press reported Monday.

The attorney general is seeking records on sexual harassment complaints.

In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker reported that more than a dozen women accused Harvey Weinstein of sexually harassing, assaulting, or raping them. Many other women in the film industry subsequently reported similar experiences with Weinstein, who denied any non-consensual sex. As a result of these accusations, Weinstein was fired from his production company.
