UK police have received two new allegations of sexual assault against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, it was reported.
Sources told PA that the claims against the Hollywood producer were reported to the Metropolitan Police.
A woman has claimed New York-born Weinstein, 65, assaulted her in Westminster, central London, in 2011.
A separate alleged incident took place at a location outside the UK, it was said.
The allegations were reported to police in November but only now made public, bringing the total number of women who have reported Weinstein to British police to nine.

A spokeswoman for Scotland Yard said: "On 13 November an allegation was received that the man sexually assaulted a woman 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."
The new allegations surfaced on the same day 'Kill Bill' star Uma Thurman claimed the Miramax founder assaulted her in a London hotel room around the 1994 release of Pulp Fiction.
Weinstein issued a statement on Saturday denying physically assaulting the US actress following her claims in the New York Times.
Thurman claims Weinstein tried to push her down and shove himself on top of her, and attempted to expose himself.
Weinstein said: "Her claims about being physically assaulted are untrue. And this is the first time we have heard those details."
The producer has denied allegations of non-consensual sex after being accused of sexual assault and harassment by more than 50 women.
Actresses Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cara Delevingne and Kate Beckinsale are among those who have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment.
Weinstein is now under investigation for sexual assault and rape by police in multiple cities, including London, Los Angeles and New York.
