Although the most recent allegations were made to police in November, they have only now been made public.
It brings the total number of women who have reported Weinstein to British police over alleged sexual assault to nine.
Police have confirmed they are investigating a ninth alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein. It comes hours after Uma Thurman accused him of assault
The news of a ninth alleged victim surfaced hours after Uma Thurman, pictured with Weinstein, said he had assaulted her
Of the most recent, one is alleged to have taken place in Westminster in 2011 while the other was outside of the jurisdiction of the UK and will be passed on to the relevant force, Scotland Yard said.
It comes on the same day Kill Bill star Uma Thurman alleged the former Miramax founder assaulted her in a London hotel room around the release of Pulp Fiction.
She says the most aggressive encounter, which took place at London’s Savoy Hotel some time between 1994 and 2002, felt like ‘a bat to the head’.
A spokeswoman for the force said today: ‘On November 13 an allegation was received that the man sexually assaulted a woman (Victim 9) in Westminster in 2011 and outside the jurisdiction of the UK in 2010. The second allegation will be passed to the relevant police force in due course.’
