Annabella Sciorra, an actress who starred in The Sopranos has become the latest woman to accuse Harvey Weinstein of rape. The latest allegation was made in an interview with The New Yorker magazine.

Ms Sciorra told the magazine that Weinstein forced his way into her New York apartment and assaulted her in the early 1990s.

Now more than 50 women have made allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape against the disgraced movie mogul, who is now subject to police investigations on both sides of the Atlantic.

Ms Sciorra told the magazine that the incident happened after she had filmed The Night We Never Met, which had been produced by Weinstein.

She broke her silence in the interview, having previously denied that the producer had ever behaved inappropriately.
