Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, pleaded not guilty to new sexual offense charges, including a criminal sexual act, in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday. The new indictment includes charges from three separate women who allege Weinstein sexually assaulted them. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office presented the allegations to a grand jury earlier this month. Weinstein, who recently underwent heart surgery on September 9, appeared in person for the arraignment. These charges are separate from his upcoming retrial in November, following the overturning of his 2020 conviction, nearly five months ago.
