For anyone who thought that the worst was over for Harvey Weinstein, there’s a new lawsuit against him that claims that he raped four more women. This, &nbsp;including one woman who was 17 at the time of her attack.&nbsp;

According to new court documents filed in New York, four more women have alleged sexual assaults that occurred between 1984 and 2013.&nbsp;

Among those who have accused him, a 43 year-old woman alleges Weinstein raped her in 1994, when she was 17. The woman was just starting out in the entertainment industry and was recruited by one of Weinstein's associates "under the guise of doing business." When she went to meet the disgraced mogul at his hotel room, she saw him standing naked and insisted that to make it big in the industry, she had to "sexually gratify him." She was then "forced to remove her clothes" as he raped her.&nbsp;

As for why she didn’t tell anyone, Harvey Weinstein had threatened her that she would be physically tracked down and he would “physically harm her and her family."

A second woman, 70, alleges Weinstein raped her in 1984 when she was 34. The woman claims the incident happened in France during the Cannes Film Festival. She claims she accompanied a friend of hers, who worked with Weinstein in foreign sales, to a meeting with the producer. She alleges the mogul led her back to one of his suites at the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic in Cannes and "pinned her against the suite’s front door," before sexually assaulting her. The woman claims Weinstein threatened her and told her to keep quiet about the incident after letting her go.

A third woman, 38, alleges Weinstein raped her 2008 &nbsp;when she was 26. The woman claims Weinstein "scouted" her while the two were at Cipriani’s in New York City and assured her that he would connect her with powerful players that could "take her career to the next level." After showing up to a "business" meeting with Weinstein at his Soho apartment, she alleges that he threatened she couldn't leave the apartment "unless she did what he wanted." She alleges that Weinstein then raped her.&nbsp;

Bob Weinstein, Miramax and Disney are also named in the suit, which states that they "knew or reasonably should have known that Harvey Weinstein had a propensity to engage in sexual misconduct and would use his position and power to lure Plaintiffs and other similarly situated aspiring female actresses to his apartments, hotel rooms, offices, etc. under the guise of discussing business opportunities to sexually harass, batter, assault, falsely imprison and rape them."&nbsp;

The suit states: "There is no doubt that Robert Weinstein knew, or should have known, that his brother was a dangerous predator likely to sexually abuse other women like Plaintiffs given that he witnessed his brother’s behavior; received direct and indirect verbal and written complaints made by and on behalf of female victims and/or employees of Miramax who were sexually abused by Harvey Weinstein."&nbsp;

Weinstein has been accused of rape and sexual assault by more than 100 women.&nbsp;

In February, a jury of 12 men and women found Harvey Weinstein guilty and he was <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-court-sentences-harvey-weinstein-to-23-years-in-prison-285682">sentenced to 23 years</a> in prison following his conviction in New York on sexual assault and rape charges.

Harvey Weinstein raped four more women according to new lawsuit

Former movie producer Harvey Weinstein was receiving medical attention for chest pain at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday, his spokesman said, a day after a New York jury <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-sexual-assault-rape-282480">convicted him of sexual assault and rape</a> in a stunning victory for the #MeToo movement. 
 
Once one of Hollywood`s most influential producers, Weinstein, 67, was found guilty on Monday of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, in 2013. 
 
More than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault, and Weinstein has denied all of the accusations and said any sexual encounters were consensual. The allegations helped fuel the #MeToo movement on social media in 2017, which inspired more women to publicly accuse powerful men of misconduct. 
 
Juda Engelmayer, a spokesman for Weinstein, said on Monday that the onetime movie mogul was taken to Bellevue Hospital, which has a unit that provides medical care for jail inmates, after he was led away from court in handcuffs. If not for his medical concerns, the former producer would have gone to New York City`s Rikers Island jail complex. 
 
Weinstein remained in the hospital on Tuesday as a "precautionary measure" because he had complained of chest pain, and he was expecting a visit from his legal team later in the day, Engelmayer said on Tuesday. 
 
After the verdict on Monday Arthur Aidala, one of Weinstein`s lawyers quoted his client as saying, "I’m innocent. I’m innocent. How can this happen in America?" 
 
His sentencing hearing was set for March 11. The attorney vowed to appeal. 
 
Weinstein, who produced acclaimed films like "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare in Love," faces up to 25 years in prison on the sexual assault conviction. He was also convicted of third-degree rape - sexual intercourse without consent - which carries a prison sentence of up to four years.

The jury of seven men and five women acquitted Weinstein on the most serious charges, which carried a potential life sentence. 
A statement from the leaders of the #MeToo movement said: "The jury worked with an incredibly narrow and unjust set of laws governing sexual assault, and though he was not convicted on all counts, Harvey Weinstein will have to answer for his crimes." 
 
A long legal battle in the appeals courts is likely to ensue. At the start of the trial, defense lawyers accused the judge of bias, the prosecutors of withholding evidence, and the media of turning the trial into a circus.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/gwyneth-paltrow-to-uma-thurman-harvey-weinstein-and-his-bygone-glamorous-hollywood-life-282677">Gwyneth Paltrow to Uma Thurman: Harvey Weinstein and his bygone glamorous Hollywood life</a> 
 
Weinstein still faces sexual assault charges in California, which were announced just hours after his New York trial began on Jan. 6. Dozens of women have also filed civil lawsuits against him. 
 
"Just seeing someone so powerful taken down and being held accountable for his action - is a huge moment," Dawn Dunning, an actress-turned-costume designer who testified against Weinstein, told CNN on Tuesday. "I don`t look at this as the end of a trial, it`s the beginning of something bigger."

Harvey Weinstein stays at hospital for 'chest pain' a day after his sexual assault conviction

The jury in former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein`s rape trial finished its first day of deliberations on Tuesday, in a case that has become a milestone for the #MeToo movement. 
 
The Manhattan jury of seven men and five women began their discussions after the judge hearing the case warned Weinstein`s lead defence lawyer, Donna Rotunno, against talking to the press until jurors have reached a verdict. 
 
The warning came two days after the attorney wrote an opinion piece about the case in Newsweek magazine. 
 
“I would caution you about the tentacles of your public relations juggernaut," Justice James Burke told Rotunno. 
 
Rotunno told Burke that the opinion piece, published on Saturday and titled "Jurors in my client Harvey Weinstein`s case must look past the headlines," was not intended to address the jury directly. 
 
"This is an op-ed about the jury system as a whole, about the criminal justice system as a whole," she said. 
 
Prosecutor Joan Illuzzi asked Burke to revoke Weinstein`s bail and jail him, saying he must have approved the Newsweek opinion piece, which she said "borders on tampering with the jury." The judge did not act on the request. 
 
Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, in 2013. 
 
After court wrapped up on Tuesday, Weinstein replied that he was feeling "good" when asked how he was feeling now that the case was in the jury`s hands. 
 
He faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault. 
 
A unanimous verdict is needed for a conviction. 
 
Since 2017, more than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct. Weinstein, who was behind films including "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare in Love," has denied the allegations and said any sexual encounters were consensual. 
 
The allegations fuelled the #MeToo movement, in which women have accused powerful men in business, entertainment, media and politics of sexual misconduct. 
 
After deliberating for less than an hour, the jury sent a note asking for clarification of their legal instructions, which Burke provided. 
Later in the afternoon, they requested exhibits, including a blueprint of the apartment where Weinstein allegedly assaulted Haleyi and a 2017 email he sent to a private investigator with a list of women highlighted as "red flags." 
 
The list included Annabella Sciorra, who testified that Weinstein entered her New York apartment one winter night in 1993 or 1994 and raped her. The accusation is too old to be charged as a separate crime, but it could act as an aggravating factor to support a charge of predatory sexual assault. 
 
Prosecutors have said the email is evidence that Weinstein tried to prevent Sciorra and other accusers from going public with their accusations. 
 
Last week, jurors heard closing arguments from lawyers on both sides. Defence attorney Rotunno argued that the encounters had been consensual, pointing to friendly communications from the women to Weinstein after they were allegedly assaulted. She assailed the credibility of the accusers and urged the jury to put aside their emotions and use common sense in evaluating the evidence. 
 
Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi urged jurors to convict Weinstein, saying the once-powerful producer used his position in the film industry to prey on women and that those who testified against him had no reason to lie.
