The Manhattan district attorney will seek an indictment against\u00a0Harvey Weinstein<\/a>\u00a0sometime next week \u2014 ignoring an NYPD plan to immediately slap the movie mogul in cuffs, sources told The Post.<\/p>\n

Cops\u00a0had been building a case<\/a>\u00a0against the predatory producer for\u00a0allegedly raping actress Paz de la Huerta<\/a>\u00a0twice in 2010.<\/p>\n

Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said last week the department is sharing information with DA Cy Vance\u2019s office and the next step would be to obtain an arrest warrant to pick up Weinstein in Arizona, where he is in rehab.<\/p>\n

There has been bad blood between the two law enforcement arms since each blamed the other for botching a 2015 case against Weinstein\u00a0based on allegations by an Italian model<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and the DA\u2019s office was irate when police officials last week told the press that they were just waiting on Vance to come through with the warrant, a source said.<\/p>\n

Vance instead plans on presenting a case to a grand jury first and waiting for an indictment, law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

De la Huerta\u00a0is just one of dozens of women<\/a>\u00a0to accuse Weinstein of sexual assault or harassment in recent months, but police believe her case is particularly strong because the alleged rapes happened within the statute of limitations and she can recount both incidents in detail.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBoardwalk Empire\u201d star says the producer twice wormed his way into her Tribeca apartment in as many months, then forced himself on her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did say no, and when he was on top of me I said, \u2018I don\u2019t want to do this.\u2019 He kept humping me and it was disgusting. He\u2019s like a pig \u2026 He raped me,\u201d she\u00a0told Vanity Fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n
