Harvey Weinstein back in New York court for hearing ahead of retrial in sex crime case

Harvey Weinstein appeared in a New York court for a hearing ahead of his retrial on sex crimes charges. He faces two sex crime charges after his 2020 conviction was overturned and a new assault charge. The prosecution’s request to combine his original case and the new charge into a single trial was granted. Weinstein pleaded not guilty. The trial date is tentatively set for November 12, but both defense lawyers and prosecutors have concerns about being prepared in time. Weinstein has faced health complications while in custody and was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022. The allegations against Weinstein helped spark the #MeToo movement.
