A model claims movie mogul Harvey Weinstein groped her in a police audio recording said to be an exchange between the pair.

Filipina-Italian model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez went to New York police in 2015 and claimed that the producer had assaulted her.

An excerpt of that recording has been published by The New Yorker.

In it, a man the publication identifies as Weinstein appears to be inviting a woman named as Gutierrez into a hotel room, while she hesitates.

At one point she asks: “Why yesterday (did) you touch my breast?”

The man replies: “Oh please, I’m sorry, just come on in. I’m used to that. Come on. Please.”

The investigation did not lead to criminal charges being filed.

Here is the transcript:

On Tuesday, the Hollywood producer was accused of rape by three women.

A statement released on his behalf said: “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein.”
