Harvey Weinstein may face new charges as more accusers come forward

Manhattan prosecutors told a judge on Wednesday they are evaluating new claims of sexual misconduct made against Harvey Weinstein and could potentially seek a new indictment against the former movie mogul ahead of his scheduled retrial on rape charges later this year. Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said during a court hearing that additional people have come forward with assault claims and prosecutors are currently assessing which fall under the statute of limitations. She said some potential survivors that were not ready to step forward during Weinstein's first trial may now be willing to testify. When asked by Judge Curtis Farber whether there was a possibility of prosecutors filing a new indictment, Blumberg replied: Yes, your honour. Weinstein appeared before the judge on Wednesday afternoon in the same New York City courthouse where former President Donald Trump is on trial. He entered the court in a wheelchair, as he has during other recent court hearings after

Harvey Weinstein arrived at a Manhattan courthouse Wednesday, his first appearance since his 2020 rape conviction was overturned by an appeals court last week. Weinstein, wearing a navy blue suit, was seated in a wheelchair pushed by a court officer as he entered the preliminary hearing in Manhattan that is expected to include discussion of evidence, scheduling and other matters, according to Weinstein's attorney, Arthur Aidala.
