Harvey Weinstein Pleads Not Guilty to New Sexual Assault Charge

The former movie mogul faces additional charges in New York as he awaits a retrial for his overturned 2020 conviction.

Weinstein is accused of forcing oral sex on a woman between April 29, 2006, and May 6, 2006, according to a new indictment.
The new charge is a criminal sexual act in the first degree, a class B felony carrying a maximum sentence of 25 years.
Weinstein's retrial for his overturned 2020 conviction is tentatively scheduled to begin on November 12, but may be delayed.
Prosecutors want to consolidate the new charges with the retrial, while Weinstein's defense team argues for separate cases.
Weinstein remains in the prison ward at Bellevue Hospital following emergency heart surgery, instead of being transferred back to Rikers Island.
