The number of women accusing filmmaker James Toback of sexual harassment or assault has jumped to 395.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office announced last that it was reviewing five investigations into accusations of sexual misconduct against him.

The newspaper also said it was the first week not hearing from a woman alleging that Toback had harassed or assaulted her.

In October, the LA Times published an investigation that saw 38 women accusing Toback of sexual misconduct, with 31 going on the record.

Since that initial story ran in late October, 357 women contacted Times reporter Glenn Whipp, sharing stories of the writer-director approaching them on the streets of Manhattan and Los Angeles, on trains and airplanes.

Most of the accounts involved Toback telling them he wanted to cast them in a movie, which often led to a range of unwanted sexual advances and actions.

Toback has also denied all of the subsequent allegations on multiple occasions.

Toback, who received an Oscar nomination for writing 'Bugsy,' has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. Many of the women said Toback had promised them stardom and their meetings would end with sexual questions and Toback masturbating in front of them or simulating sexual intercourse with them.

Among them are Selma Blair and Rachel McAdams, who have both now detailed times they were harassed at the hands of the 72-year-old after being invited to an audition at his hotel room.

And both told Vanity Fair that they decided to come forward about their experiences after reading the confessions of other women, and after watching Toback vehemently deny all of the allegations.

Both actresses have said the assaults took place when they were at the beginning of their careers and were offered a role in the upcoming movie Harvard Man - which came out in 2001 and ended up starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Joey Lauren Adams.
