Harvey Weinstein Indicted On Additional Sex Crimes Charges In New York

Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on additional charges in New York, as he awaits a retrial for sexual assault and rape following a reversal of his previous conviction. The former producer, recovering from emergency heart surgery at Bellevue Hospital, was not present for the announcement. The Manhattan D.A.’s office plans to have more accusers testify at the new trial, and the exact number of new accusers is yet to be determined. The retrial, initially set for November, may be delayed due to the new charges, as pre-trial litigation will be necessary. Weinstein’s declining health has been evident, and his defense will likely need time to address the new charges. (Variety)
