Criminal investigations continue in the case of Harvey Weinstein, the movie producer who stands accused by dozens of women of sexual assault and harassment.

The latest developments, as they happen:

Accuser urges Uma Thurman to 'use her voice'

After a video of Pulp Fiction actress Uma Thurman showing great restraint about talking about Hollywood's problems with sexual harassment and assault gained attention online, outspoken Weinstein accuser Asia Argento saw an opportunity.

Thurman told a reporter at a red-carpet event in mid-October, "I don't have a tidy soundbite for you," paused and then continued, "because ... I've learned that when I have spoken in anger, I usually regret the way that I have expressed myself. So I've been waiting to feel less angry. And when I'm ready, I'll say what I have to say."

Argento praised the movie star's statement. The actress tweeted Saturday to Thurman: "May peace be with you and your soul. We need your strong voice, it truly is commanding."

Ben Affleck wants to make 'sure I'm part of the solution'

Affleck says he's examining his own actions after the storm of harassment claims against Weinstein.

In an interview Sunday with the Associated Press for the superhero film Justice League in London, Affleck said he's "looking at my own behavior and addressing that and making sure I'm part of the solution."

Affleck condemned Weinstein's actions when accusations were reported last month, writing in a social media post that he was "saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades."

But then Affleck found himself defending his own behavior. The actor/writer/director apologized for groping the actress Hilarie Burton on camera in 2003 when she was a host on MTV's Total Request Live. Another video from 2004 showed Affleck pulling Montreal TV host Anne-Marie Losique onto his lap.

Speaking Sunday, Affleck told the Associated Press that two things need to happen to address the problem. He said that "more women need to be pushed to power" and that sexual harassment has to also be "a men's issue" where guys call out inappropriate behavior.
