Embattled film executive Harvey Weinstein appears to confess to sexual assault in an audio recording released by the New Yorker on Tuesday.
In the audio, a woman the New Yorker identifies as Gutierrez asks a man, who the magazine says is Weinstein, why he touched her breasts the day before.
In a statement to the New Yorker his spokeswoman said: “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein.”
She filed a complaint with the New York police department (NYPD), and the next night met with Weinstein again, supported by an NYPD undercover operation and while wearing a wire, according to the New Yorker.
