Harvey Weinstein appeared on Wednesday afternoon in a New York City courthouse, where a prosecutor told the judge that the disgraced Hollywood producer could face a new indictment ahead of his scheduled retrial on sex crime charges. During the court hearing, Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said that new accusers have come forward with sexual misconduct claims against the once-influential movie producer, and that prosecutors are working to determine whether the new claims fall under the statute of limitations. “People who couldn’t speak out in 2020 are now willing to speak out in 2024,” Ms.
Blumberg told Judge Curtis Farber. Mr. Weinstein, 72, was briefly hospitalized last month upon his return to New York City after the state’s highest court overturned his 2020 convictions on rape and sexual assault charges.
On Wednesday, he entered the Manhattan courtroom in a wheelchair, as he has during other recent court appearances. The next court appearance for Mr. Weinstein is scheduled for July 9.
His retrial on sex crime charges is tentatively scheduled for some time after Labor Day. At his 2020 trial, the Academy Award-winning film producer was convicted of rape in the third degree for an attack on former actress Jessica Mann in 2013, and of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, a former TV and film production assistant, in 2016. He was later sentenced to 23 years in prison, which he was serving at the Mohawk Correctional Facility in Rome in central New York.
