our top story today. harveytein, the hollywood producer who's been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, is expected to give himself in to police in new york later, according to us media reports. weinstein is thought to be facing arrest and criminal charges but his lawyer has not commented on the story. our north america correspondent david willis has more. harvey weinstein, once a fixture on the red carpet, it seems his dramatic fall from grace is about to enter a new chapter. the man who wrapped up oscars for films such as shakespeare in love is, today, expected to turn himself in to detectives and face charges of sexual assault. among his accusers is lucia evans, formerly an aspiring actress, who claims the movie mogul abused her, at his office in new york. she and a string of hollywood a—listes, gwyneth paltrow and angelina jolie among them, were part of a chorus of accusations which gave rise to the #metoo movement. it led to powerful and predatory men in a numberfields being held to account, the la

but given that we've just heard so many similar stories about how harvey weinstein would invite women to the hotel allegedly and in some cases use force and in some cases use threat of "i'll ruin you in this business." these are all things a prosecutor would use to make, if they can, into what we call 404-b evidence. the general rule is you can't parade other people to say the defendant is generally a bad guy because he's done bad things in the past. there's an exemption where they are sufficiently similar acts that happened, even if they were never prosecuted. >> we're watching outside the courtroom now to see the next move. and on that subject, will weinstein and his defendant team try to make the argument he cannot get a fair trial? because we've all decided in the last month, in the last six months, this guy's pretty much awful? >> it's an option, but the bar is very, very high. of course, they have to consider that as an option. but in our modern era with the internet, with twitter with social media being what it is and just hundreds of channels on tv, the notion of a fair trial

harvey weinstein. so over the past eight months we have seen so many different stories come out in these movements, but i think it's worth noting and remembering who harvey weinstein was before all these allegations started to take him down. the weinstein company, though it filed po bankruptcy and assets later sold, had grossed 2.4 billion across 133 movies. remember weinstein himself was known as an oscar maker. this was a guy who produced movies that won 81 oscars in total. there were a total of 341 nominations, so the fact that heck should have such a huge impact on hollywood is perhaps one of the reasons he was protected for so long. >> on that note, with how many movies and content this company did turn out, the fact you have such uncertain m & a, obviously the fight that's going on with cbs, what does all of this together mean in terms of how content is being created right now and the uncertainty around that >> i think one reason women felt comfortable coming forward making the accusations when they did is because he had lost a lot of his power he was a king maker and oscar maker back in the hey

reporters at leading news organizations worked diligently to stay on top of the story and keep americans informed. harvey weinstein and others in the film and television industries didn't announce that they had used their positions of influence to harass and abuse scores of women. it was reporters who had the difficult conversations with the victims, supporting them, and encouraging them to go on the record that gave rise to the global me too movement. these important stories and many others came to life because of journalists who never lost the sight of the fundamentals of their profession, who do their best to live up to the purpose of the first amendment. essential to both journalism and the law is an understanding that those who practice these professions occupy positions of immense public trust. we are expected to conduct ourselves honorably, to live and work civilly, and with integrity. it is incumbent upon lawyers and journalists to always exhibit fairness, even to those who may not be fair to us. today, as you receive your degrees, you become the newest stewards of this public trust. you can rein
