NEW YORK—The sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein was roiled on Oct. 17 for the second time in a week by what New York City prosecutors said was a police detective’s improper conduct.

Det. Nicholas DiGaudio, whose alleged witness coaching prompted the dismissal of part of the case last week, is now accused of urging one of Weinstein’s accusers to delete material from her cellphones before she handed them over to prosecutors.
