The lawyer heading a civil suit against Harvey Weinstein has said the disgraced movie mogul could have targeted nearly 1,000 women.
Elizabeth Fegan, who has filed a class action suit against Weinstein, said at least 150 women have already come forward with allegations and added that she believes the actual number affected by his decades of alleged misconduct is likely much higher.
‘I think we are talking about hundreds, I think it could be near a thousand,’ Fegan told Sky News on Friday.

‘I think that based on what we know, and what has already been made public, at least 150 women have come forward in some way,’ Fegan said.
‘On top of that we have employees who said that there were women in his office three times a week, where they would have to go in his office and clean up after him, knowing that he had just done something and ejaculated.
‘So if you’re talking about three times a week at least for all the number of years he’s been in power at Miramax and the Weinstein company, that’s a lot of women.
‘When you look at how long this went on, we’ve talked to women that started with him in 1979 at Miramax, women through the 80s.
‘This was every day behavior. He was a bully and he was a predator.’
