Harvey Weinstein appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to a new indictment charging him with a criminal sex act in the first degree. This new charge stems from an alleged assault in 2006 and includes up to three additional offenses. The indictment was unsealed earlier this month by a grand jury. Weinstein's retrial is scheduled for November, following the overturning of his previous sex crimes conviction by New York's highest court. Weinstein has denied all claims of sexual misconduct, asserting that his encounters were consensual. This appearance marks his first since undergoing open heart surgery.
