British authorities are investigating a new wave of sexual assault allegations against disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Police in the United Kingdom are currently looking into sexual assault claims involving the shamed movie producer made by seven different women, with the alleged incidents spanning from the 1980s to 2015, the BBC reported. The incidents allegedly took place both within and outside London.

Authorities from the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police had said two weeks ago that they were looking into claims made by three women who accused Weinstein of sexual assault.

No arrests have been made as a result of the investigation. Weinstein, 65, has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
