Harvey Weinstein Pleads Not Guilty to New Sexual Assault Charge in New York Court

Sep 18, 2024, 07:50 PM

Harvey Weinstein appeared in a Manhattan courtroom in New York on Wednesday for arraignment on a new indictment charging him with a criminal sex act in the first degree. This new indictment involves allegations from three separate women who accused Weinstein of sexual assault. Weinstein, who recently had heart surgery on September 9, pleaded not guilty to the charges. These charges are separate from the retrial he faces in November, following the overturning of his 2020 conviction. Weinstein's lawyer confirmed that the grand jury indicted him earlier this month on up to three additional sex offenses, and he continues to deny all claims of sexual misconduct, asserting that his encounters were consensual.
