The Metropolitan Police has been authorised to charge Harvey Weinstein with two counts of indecent assault against a woman in August 1996 in London.
It follows a review of the evidence gathered by the force in its investigation, said Rosemary Ainslie, head of the Crown Prosecution Service special crime division.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial,” she added.
