Harvey Weinstein, formerly a major Hollywood producer—now the target of multiple sex abuse allegations—has used private security agencies to dig up information on people who, he thought, could accuse him of sexually inappropriate conduct, according to an investigation by journalist Ronan Farrow.
The private spies targeted women and journalists in order to stop them from exposing Weinstein, Farrow said in a New Yorker article, referring to documents and interviews he obtained.
