After The Wall Street Journal published decades of sexual misconduct allegations against casino magnate Steve Wynn in January, police in Las Vegas were approached by a woman who accused Wynn of raping her in the 1970s, The Associated Press reports.

On Tuesday, AP obtained copies of police reports recently filed by two women, including one who said that Wynn raped her inside her Chicago apartment at least three times in 1973 and 1974. She also told police that she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter inside a gas station bathroom.
