Harvey Weinstein could face a new indictment after prosecutors revealed more women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against the entertainment mogul. Additional women have come forward with allegations against Weinstein in the weeks since his rape conviction was overturned, Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said during Wednesday's court hearing.
Fox News Digital has reached out to a representative for Weinstein. A New York appeals court overturned Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, ordering a new trial in a stunning reversal of a landmark #MeToo case. In a 4-3 decision, the court found that Weinstein's trial judge allowed prosecutors to call women who said Weinstein had assaulted them to testify, even though their accusations did not specifically relate to the entertainment mogul's charges.
Weinstein also returned to court May 9 for a hearing regarding his possible extradition to California. His legal team asserted his right not to be extradited at this time, mostly so he can prepare for his retrial and due to his 'very serious health issues.' 'Our main concern in all of this is that Mr. Weinstein is here in New York, so we can prepare for trial and that he get the medical care he needs,' Diana Fabi Samson told reporters during a post-hearing press conference.
