Harvey Weinstein Faces Possible New Indictment in New York Rape Charges Retrial

May 29, 2024, 07:27 PM

Harvey Weinstein appeared before a judge in a New York City courthouse on Wednesday afternoon, the same courthouse where former President Donald Trump is currently on trial. Weinstein is facing a retrial on rape charges after his 2020 conviction was overturned. During the hearing, Manhattan prosecutors indicated they might seek a new indictment against Weinstein as additional accusers have come forward. Prosecutors revealed that some individuals who were not ready to testify in 2020 are now prepared to do so in 2024. The potential new charges could further complicate Weinstein's legal battles as he prepares for his retrial later this year.
