The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office charged convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein with six more sexual assault charges Friday.
The new charges stem from two accusers, according to Page Six. The new charges bring Weinstein’s total to 11 in the California trial. The charges include four counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation, two counts of sexual battery by restraint and one count of sexual penetration by use of force, Page Six reported.

Weinstein has been accused of raping an unknown woman sometime between Sept. 1, 2004 and Sept. 30, 2005 at an unnamed Beverly Hills hotel, according to the outlet. He was also accused of raping another unidentified woman twice. Once in November or December of 2009 and again on Nov. 5, 2010, the outlet reported.

Weinstein is currently serving his 23-year prison sentence after he was convicted of rape in the third degree and committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree back in February. As previously reported, the jury decided to acquit Weinstein on the charges of rape in the first degree and predatory sexual assault at the time.
The charges in Los Angeles were first brought against Weinstein back in January.
Weinstein’s spokesperson denied all of the allegations were true.
“Harvey Weinstein has always maintained that every one of his sexual encounters throughout his entire life has been consensual,” Juda Engelmayer said, according to Page Six. “That hasn’t changed.”
