Producer Harvey Weinstein and director James Toback, who are facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse, are being investigated by the Beverly Hills police department.

The investigation stems from multiple complaints received about the individuals, Variety reported.

"These cases are currently under investigation and no further information will be released at this time," police said in a statement.

Weinstein, 65, has been accused by over 60 women of sexual harassment and in some cases of rape after New York Times ran an expose on October 5 detailing decades of sexual misconduct.

The Los Angeles Times published a report on October 22, detailing accusations of sexual harassment against Toback, 72, by 38 women, going back to the '80s. More than 300 women have come forward since then.
 

Both Weinstein and Toback have denied all allegations.
