纽约州对温斯坦影业展开调查

The Weinstein Company is under investigation by New York’s attorney-general over possible sexual harassment and discrimination, following widespread allegations of misconduct by co-founder Harvey Weinstein.

纽约州总检察长正在调查温斯坦影业(The Weinstein Company)可能存在的性骚扰和性歧视，此前其联合创始人哈维•温斯坦(Harvey Weinstein，见上图)受到多人发出的行为不端指控。

“No New Yorker should be forced to walk into a workplace ruled by sexual intimidation, harassment, or fear. If sexual harassment or discrimination is pervasive at a company, we want to know,” said Eric Schneiderman, the state’s top legal officer.

“任何纽约人都不该被迫进入一个被性恐吓、骚扰或恐惧支配的工作场所。如果性骚扰和歧视在一家公司大行其道，我们想知道，”纽约州总检察长埃里克•施奈德曼(Eric Schneiderman)说。

The attorney-general’s civil rights bureau is investigating whether officials at the company violated the state’s civil rights law or New York City’s human rights law, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

据一位熟悉调查情况的人士称，总检察长的民权局正在调查该公司的高级职员是否违反了纽约州的民权法或纽约市的人权法。

The company was served with a subpoena on Monday seeking a range of documents, including records and correspondence related to complaints of sexual harassment and gender or age discrimination, how those complaints were handled, whether formal investigations were initiated and any records relating to settlements that may have been paid. The subpoena also seeks documents concerning criteria for hiring, promoting, casting and firing employees and applicants.

该公司周一接到传票，要求其提供一系列文件，包括与性骚扰及性别或年龄歧视有关的投诉记录与信函、这些投诉得到了怎样处理、是否启动了正式调查以及任何涉及金钱和解的记录。传票还要求提供涉及雇用、晋升、演员挑选以及解雇员工及申请人的标准的文件。

The civil rights inquiry comes as the film and television studio scrambles for survival, two weeks after Mr Weinstein was fired and half its board resigned. More than 40 women have alleged sexual harassment, assault or rape by the once-powerful film producer dating back three decades. Mr Weinstein has denied that any of his relationships were non-consensual.

当局展开民权调查之际，这家影视制片公司正在奋力求生，两周前温斯坦被解雇，该公司一半的董事也辞了职。超过40名女性声称，她们在过去30年期间曾被这名一度大权在握的制片人性骚扰、殴打或强奸。温斯坦否认这其中有任何关系是非自愿的。
