Harvey Weinstein Indicted on New Sex Crimes Charges Ahead of Retrial

Sep 12, 2024, 02:36 PM

Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on new criminal charges by a New York grand jury, prosecutors announced on Thursday. The indictment comes as the Manhattan district attorney's office prepares to retry the former movie mogul following the reversal of his 2020 rape conviction. The new charges, which are currently under seal, include additional sex crimes and were confirmed by a prosecutor in court. Weinstein, 72, was absent from the proceedings due to undergoing emergency heart surgery earlier this week. The retrial is highly anticipated.
