A woman is set to make “astonishing” allegations of “horrendous sexual abuse” by disgraced American film producer Harvey Weinstein at a tribunal hearing in England, judges have been told.

The woman says she was sexually assaulted and harassed by Weinstein, 68, who was given a 23-year jail term at a court hearing in New York in March after being convicted of rape and sexual assault.
