Five days after the New York Times published a blistering report detailing nearly 30 years of sexual misconduct by Harvey Weinstein, the New Yorker has published its own explosive investigative report including accusations of rape and sexual assault.

The report includes new accounts from three women who allege that Weinstein forced them to perform or receive oral sex and forced vaginal sex, as well as four women who told the magazine that they experienced unwanted touching that could be classified as an assault. It also includes an audio clip from a 2015 New York Police Department sting operation in which Weinstein can be heard pressuring a woman to come into his hotel room and seemingly admit groping her.

The Manhattan District Attorney's office, which declined to prosecute following the 2015 investigation, issued a statement Tuesday saying Weinstein's pattern of "mistreating women, as recounted in recent reports, is disgraceful and shocks the conscience."

"“If we could have prosecuted Harvey Weinstein for the conduct that occurred in 2015, we would have," Chief Assistant DA Karen Friedman-Agnifilo said in a statement provided to USA TODAY.

“After the complaint was made in 2015, the NYPD – without our knowledge or input – arranged a controlled call and meeting between the complainant and Mr. Weinstein. The seasoned prosecutors in our Sex Crimes Unit were not afforded the opportunity before the meeting to counsel investigators on what was necessary to capture in order to prove a misdemeanor sex crime. While the recording is horrifying to listen to, what emerged from the audio was insufficient to prove a crime under New York law, which requires prosecutors to establish criminal intent. Subsequent investigative steps undertaken in order to establish intent were not successful. This, coupled with other proof issues, meant that there was no choice but to conclude the investigation without criminal charges.”

In the audio clip, Weinstein can be heard pressuring model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, who told The New Yorker she met Weinstein at a show that he was producing at Radio City Music Hall before he asked her to visit his TriBeCa office, where he lunged at her. She reported the incident to the Special Victims Division, which planned an operation in which Gutierrez wore a wire to extract a confession.

"Don't embarrass me," Weinstein tells her, before admitting to groping her breast. "I'm used to that," he says. "I won't do it again."

Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow also added their voices to Gutierrez's Tuesday. In another report from the Times, the actresses detail similar stories from earlier in their careers that further illuminate Weinstein's alleged pattern of abuse: The movie mogul would lure up-and-coming talent to his offices or hotel rooms under the pretext of professional meetings, then aggressively pressure them into sexual contact and threaten their careers if they spoke out.

When Paltrow was 22, she tells the Times, Weinstein hired her as the lead in the Jane Austen adaptation, Emma. Before shooting began, he summoned her to his suite at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a work meeting which ended with Weinstein placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages.

Jolie had a similar story from the publicity tour for Playing by Heart in the late 1990s, she told the Times, saying Weinstein made unwanted advances on her in a hotel room, which she rejected.

“I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,” Jolie told the newspaper in an email. “This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.”

Sixteen former and current executives and assistants at Weinstein’s companies told the New Yorker they had witnessed or known about Weinstein's behavior, which also took place at corporate events, and say it was widely known at both Miramax, which he founded and sold to Disney, and The Weinstein Company, his most recent employer.

They also described a culture of compliance, in which Weinstein allegedly used other, often female staffers to attend meetings to make a victim feel safe before being dismissed by the mogul, leaving him alone with a woman.

Written by journalist Ronan Farrow, son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, who has highlighted his sister Dylan's accusations of sexual assault against their famous father, the New Yorker article includes specific accounts of harassment from actresses Rosanna Arquette and Mira Sorvino.

Sorvino, who starred in Mighty Aphrodite, said Weinstein, who produced the film that earned her an Oscar, chased her around a hotel room in 1995 as she warded him off before leaving. On a separate occasion, Sorvino says Weinstein showed up at her apartment after midnight with the promise of new marketing ideas for the film, but left dejectedly after she said her boyfriend was on the way.

On Sunday, Weinstein was ousted from his company, whose spokeswoman Nicole Quenqua said, in a statement: "In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of The Weinstein Company — Robert Weinstein, Lance Maerov, Richard Koenigsberg and Tarak Ben Ammar — have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately."

The Weinstein Company board issued a statement late Tuesday following The New Yorker story saying its members were "shocked and dismayed by the recently emerged allegations of extreme sexual misconduct and sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein."

"These alleged actions are antithetical to human decency," the statement continued. "These allegations come as an utter surprise to the board. Any suggestion that the board had knowledge of this conduct is false."



Through a spokesperson, Harvey Weinstein issued a statement in response to the New Yorker allegations "unequivocally" denying any allegations of "non-consensual sex."
