Harvey Weinstein is expected to turn himself in to authorities today to face sexual assault charges, it has been reported.

The New York Daily News reported Weinstein would surrender later today to the NYPD to face charges in connection with at least one accuser, Lucia Evans.

Evans claims Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2004.

She's one of dozens of women to accuse Weinstein of sex crimes, and he's under investigation for alleged assaults in New York, Los Angeles and London.

Many high profile women have come forward alleging assault, including Asia Argento, Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Barth, Cara Delevingne, Heather Graham, Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan and Mira Sorvino.
