Oscar body adopts conduct code as Hollywood reacts to harassment issue

LOS ANGELES, Dec 8 (Reuters) The Academy of Motion Pictures, the body that chooses the Oscars, has adopted a code of conduct and warned members it reserves the right to expel any who flout the new rules.
The code of conduct, sent to more than 8,000 members late on Wednesday and to news media on Thursday, follows the Academy's expulsion in October of film producer Harvey Weinstein in light of accusations of sexual harassment or assault against him by more than 50 women.
Weinstein, who has denied non-consensual sex with anyone, was only the second person in the Academy's 90-year history to be thrown out. Reuters has not been able to verify the accusations against Weinstein.
