Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced former movie mogul, is facing new legal challenges as he is set to be arraigned on additional sex crimes charges in New York. The arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday in Manhattan, his lawyer said. These new charges come as Weinstein continues to deal with significant health issues, having recently undergone heart surgery on September 9. The new indictment includes up to three additional sex offenses. This development occurs seven years after numerous women accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, sparking the global #MeToo movement. Weinstein was seen leaving the hospital en route to the courtroom.
