New York's attorney general filed a suit Sunday against longtime Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, his brother Robert Weinstein and the Weinstein Company for "egregious violations" of the state's civil rights, human rights and business laws. The suit, which is the result of a four-month investigation, includes "new and extensive allegations" about Harvey Weinstein's "vicious and exploitative mistreatment of company employees." Harvey's brother and Weinstein Company co-founder Robert Weinstein, at left, has also been named in the suit. Any sale of the Weinstein Company must ensure that employees are protected going forward, the attorney general said. Harvey Weinstein has been accused by dozens of women, including several high-profile actresses, of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
