A judge in New York has tentatively set the start date for a new trial of former film mogul Harvey Weinstein for November 12. However, if preparations are completed more quickly, an earlier start date is also possible, Judge Curtis Farber said, according to US media reports. The 72-year-old Weinstein was present at the brief court hearing, sitting in a wheelchair. Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for sexual offences in 2020. At the end of April, an appellate court in New York unexpectedly overturned the historic conviction due to procedural errors. Numerous supporters and activist...

New York (AFP) - A New York judge on Friday set a tentative November date for the retrial of disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein on sexual assault charges. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in New York in 2020 of the rape and sexual assault of actress Jessica Mann and of forcibly performing oral sex on a production assistant. A New York appeals court overturned his conviction in April in a shock reversal in one of the defining cases of the #MeToo movement. The court ruled that the trial judge had erred by allowing testimony from accusers who Weinstein was not formally charged with assaulting....

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein may face new sexual assault charges ahead of his retrial this fall, Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday. Authorities are investigating "additional violent sexual assaults" allegedly carried out by Weinstein that are not subject to a statute of limitations, assistant district attorney Nicole Blumberg said. "As we said in 2020, there were women who were not ready to proceed with the legal process," Blumberg told Judge Curtis Farber at a court hearing. "Some of those women are now ready to proceed." New York's highest court overturned Weins...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein faced one of his accusers in New York court Wednesday as he was told he would be retried for rape and sexual assault convictions that were overturned in the state. His 2020 conviction for raping ex-actress Jessica Mann, who was in the front row of the courtroom's public gallery and mere feet from Weinstein, was overturned by New York's highest court last week. Weinstein was visibly frail as he was wheeled into the Manhattan courtroom flanked by his lawyers, smiling and waving at supporters as he was pushed in a wheelchair past the public ...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein was due in court in New York on Wednesday for the first time since his convictions in the state were overturned. The hearing, at which a judge is expected to vacate his convictions in the state but not free the 72-year-old because of a separate, unchanged conviction in California, could pave the way for a new trial. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in 2020 of the rape and sexual assault of ex-actress Jessica Mann in 2013, and of forcibly performing oral sex on former production assistant Mimi Haley in 2006. He was sentenced to 23 years in pris...

Los Angeles (AFP) - A woman who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault said Friday she was not sure she could face testifying again if he is re-tried, after his New York rape conviction was thrown out this week. Mimi Haley said she felt "sick to my stomach" when she heard a court had voided the conviction of the one-time Hollywood power player. "People really don't know what I had to go through and what the other women had to go through," Haley told reporters of Weinstein's 2020 trial. "It's grueling, it's hard... you're living in fear for years... and then you're getting harassed. "Ther...

New York (AFP) - New York's highest court on Thursday overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on sex crime charges, a shock reversal in one of the defining cases of the #MeToo movement. In its 4-3 decision, the Court of Appeals found the trial judge erred in admitting the testimony of additional women who were allegedly abused by Weinstein but who were not named in the charges brought against him, and ordered a new trial. The ruling does not affect a separate 16-year rape sentence handed down in California -- meaning the once-untouchable Hollywood heavyweight...

New York (AFP) - New York's highest court on Thursday overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on sex crime charges, a stunning about-face in the case that launched the #MeToo movement. Here are the key moments in the case: 2017: Scandal erupts - The New York Times publishes a bombshell investigative report featuring numerous on-the-record sexual harassment and assault accusations against Weinstein over a period of nearly three decades.

New York (AFP) - New York's highest court on Thursday overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on sex crime charges and ordered a new trial. In their 4-3 decision, judges cited errors in the way the trial had been conducted, including admitting the testimony of women who were not part of the charges against him. "Order reversed and a new trial ordered," the ruling said. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in February 2020 of rape and sexual assault by a court in New York, and later sentenced to 23 years in prison. He was subsequently convicted and sentenced by a Los ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Thursday to 16 more years in prison for the rape of a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel room, increasing the likelihood that the disgraced Hollywood mogul will spend the remainder of his life behind bars. Weinstein was ordered by a Los Angeles court to serve the latest sentence -- for the assault of a European actress a decade ago -- after he has completed his 23-year sentence for another sex crimes conviction in New York. Attending court in a wheelchair, the 70-year-old Oscar-winning "Shakespeare in Love" producer begged the judge for "mercy." "...
