Harvey Weinstein indicted in new sexual assault allegations

Harvey&nbsp;Weinstein could be retried on rape charges in Manhattan on Nov. 12 after a judge set a tentative trial date at a Friday court hearing.

Judge Curtis Farber said he was also open to an earlier start date in September depending on how pretrial discovery plays out. Weinstein's lawyers say they want to proceed as soon as possible.

Weinstein, 72, has denied wrongdoing and has denied having any non-consensual sexual encounters with anyone. Jurors in Manhattan found him guilty on rape charges in February 2020, but the New York Court of Appeals threw out the conviction in April, finding Weinstein did not get a fair trial because a judge improperly allowed testimony by accusers he was not formally charged with assaulting.

Prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office revealed in court last week that they intend to charge Weinstein for “additional violent sexual assaults” after more women agreed to testify.

The new accusers have not been publicly identified, and prosecutors are seeking to shield certain evidence from public view while they prepare to seek a new grand jury indictment.

Farber said on Friday that he will appoint a special magistrate to referee discovery disputes between the parties as they sift through new evidence ahead of trial.

Weinstein’s conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, in which women accused hundreds of men in entertainment, media, politics and other fields of sexual misconduct.

A jury found the Miramax film studio co-founder sexually assaulted former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and raped aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013. They are among more than 80 women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.

Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Prosecutors have said that they will be ready to retry Weinstein by the fall. If they obtain a new indictment, they could seek to combine it with the original case or try both of them separately.

Arthur Aidala, Weinstein's lawyer, said at last week's hearing that it was unfair for prosecutors to seek to add additional victims to the case after the conviction was overturned.

Weinstein is being held in New York City’s Rikers Island jail ahead of his retrial.

Weinstein was also sentenced to 16 years following a separate rape trial in California. That conviction was not affected by the New York court's decision, and he has not begun serving the California sentence.

Miramax's hit movies included Shakespeare in Love&nbsp;and Pulp Fiction.&nbsp;Weinstein's film studio filed for bankruptcy in March 2018.

Harvey Weinstein retrial on NY rape charges will start in November

Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein will be retried in New York, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said in court on Wednesday, a week after the state's highest court threw out his 2020 rape conviction.

Weinstein appeared in court before Judge Curtis Farber in a wheelchair and a black suit, more than four years after his conviction was hailed as a milestone for the #MeToo movement, in which women accused hundreds of men in&nbsp;entertainment, media, politics and other fields of sexual misconduct.

“There was nothing consensual about this conduct,” prosecutor Nicole Blumberg said. "We believe in this case and will be retrying this case."

Weinstein, 72, had been serving a 23-year sentence in a prison in upstate Rome, New York. He then was transferred to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan following last week's order, according to his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer.

Farber remanded Weinstein back into custody and said he expected to hold a new trial after the Labor Day holiday but did not set a firm date. Labor Day falls on Sept. 2.

Weinstein remained silent during the court hearing. His attorney, Arthur Aidala, did not object to his client being remanded.

"There's a tremendous sense of relief that we're back here," Aidala said after the court hearing.

"We're very confident that if he goes to trial, the only words we'll hear at the end of trial are 'not guilty,'" he added.

Aidala said Weinstein would return to Bellevue.

In February 2020, jurors in Manhattan convicted Weinstein of sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and of raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013. They are among more than 80 women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.

The conviction included charges of first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape. Weinstein, who has denied having non-consensual sexual encounters with anyone, was acquitted on other charges.

Haley’s attorney, Gloria Allred, told reporters that she has not decided whether she will testify again at trial, saying the experience was traumatizing.

“That testimony was obviously believed by jury, and in addition, Mimi’s testimony was not the only evidence presented,” Allred said.

Last week, the New York Court of Appeals found that Judge James Burke, who presided over the trial, made a critical mistake by allowing three women to testify about alleged sexual assaults by Weinstein that were not part of the criminal charges against him. The court said this "prior bad acts" testimony violated his right to a fair trial.

Weinstein was also sentenced to 16 years following his separate rape trial in California. The two sentences cannot be served concurrently.

California law gives prosecutors wider latitude to introduce “prior bad acts” evidence than New York.

Burke is no longer on the bench, so any New York retrial would be before a different judge.

Weinstein co-founded the Miramax film studio, whose hit movies included "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction." His own eponymous film studio filed for bankruptcy in March 2018.

Harvey Weinstein to appear in court amid failing health

Jurors in Los Angeles began deciding the fate of Harvey Weinstein on Friday, weighing rape and sex abuse charges that could see the former Hollywood titan jailed for the rest of his life.&nbsp;A weeks-long trial has heard graphic descriptions of encounters in California hotel rooms between the once-powerful producer and women who were trying to make their way in the world of movies.

Prosecutors have painted a picture of a predatory ogre, who used his physical and professional prowess to rape and abuse women for years with impunity.

His victims were left terrorised and afraid for their careers if they spoke out against a man who dominated Tinseltown for decades, the lawyers said.

Weinstein, the 'Pulp Fiction'&nbsp;producer who is already serving a 23-year sentence in New York for a series of attacks, denies the raft of Los Angeles charges.

His attorney has sought to portray accusers either as liars who never had sex with his client, or as women who willingly lay on the casting couch, swapping sex for a leg up in the notoriously competitive world of filmmaking.

Weinstein, now 70, is charged with seven sex-related counts involving four women, one of whom has been identified by her lawyer as Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

"It is time for the defendant's reign of terror to end," prosecutor Marlene Martinez told the jury in her closing argument on Thursday.

"It is time for the kingmaker to be brought to justice."

<h2>- 'Despicable behaviour' -</h2>

Weinstein, who was credited with making the careers of household names like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow, used his power to prey on and silence women, Martinez said.

The jury heard testimony from women who said they had been tricked into being alone with the "Shakespeare in Love" producer in his hotel room.

Several described how they had begged him to stop as he forced himself on them, made them perform oral sex on him, or watch him masturbate, sometimes as he groped them.

"We know the despicable behaviour the defendant engaged in," Martinez told the jury.

"He thought he was so powerful that people would... excuse his behavior."&nbsp;

"'That's just Harvey being Harvey. That's just Hollywood.&nbsp;And for so long that's what everyone did. Everyone just turned their heads."

Defending Weinstein, Alan Jackson told the jury the prosecution had failed to provide evidence that any of the sexual encounters were anything but consensual.

The entirety of the prosecution's case could be summed up with five words -- "Take my word for it," he said.

Two of the four women at the centre of the charges described encounters that never happened, he said.&nbsp;

The two others were women who knowingly engaged in transactional sex and now regretted it, Jackson said, part of what he called a "dogpile" on Weinstein in the wake of the explosion of the #MeToo movement.

Referring to Siebel Newsom, he said she "cannot square in her mind that she's a successful, well-educated, well-bred, refined woman who had consensual sex with Harvey Weinstein in exchange for opportunity and access.

"Regret is far from rape. You don't get to rewrite your own history no matter who you're married to."

Weinstein did not testify in his own defence.&nbsp;If convicted, he could face more than 100 years in jail.

Harvey Weinstein jury mulls verdict in Hollywood rapes case

Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault trial sees a new day as the&nbsp;judge overseeing the case has dropped four of the 11 charges against him. This happened after prosecutors said that they do not intend to proceed with counts connected to one of the accusers.&nbsp;

The four charges dropped are those of two counts of forcible rape and two counts of forced oral copulation. These were both accused by a woman named Jane Doe 5. Meanwhile, eight other women will testify in the case against Harvey Weinstein.&nbsp;

Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to the remaining seven sexual assault charges, including two counts of rape and five counts of sexual assault dating from 2004 to 2013.

The trial resumed with further cross-examination of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a filmmaker and the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. She testified that the disgraced producer raped her in a hotel in 2005 when she was 31 years old. She said, "Sir, I was assaulted by him.”

It so happened that Weinstein called her to his room to discuss potential film projects and then raped her. When asked why she remained in the hotel suite, she said, "Because you don't say no to Harvey Weinstein. He could make or ruin your career. I thought I was going to discuss my projects."

Harvey Weinstein was found guilty in 2020 in New York of first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. He has maintained his innocence and called these allegations baseless and the sex “consensual”.&nbsp;

Harvey Weinstein: Four out of 11 charges in sexual assault case dropped

A celebrity masseuse,&nbsp;who is going by the name, Jane Doe, testified against Harvey Weinstein in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday as she shared the&nbsp;shocking details about her encounter with the defamed filmmaker. 
 
A licenced massage therapist tearfully shared with the jury how Harvey sexually assaulted her at his Beverly Hills hotel in 2010 right after she gave Weinstein a massage. 
 
Jane shared&nbsp;Harvey followed her to the bathroom, where he started doing inappropriate things in front of her. Despite all her effort to stop him, Harvey continued&nbsp;harassing her&nbsp;as he&nbsp;pushed Doe towards the wall.

He said, "Look at me; tell me how big my c**k is.&nbsp;Look at me. Look at me. F**king look at me," Jane Doe said, reported Variety. 
 
Joe said further that she kept telling Weinstein "no" and "tried backing away from him as far as possible." But he kept on&nbsp;doing everything. 
 
"I was terrified," she testified. "I thought I was about to get raped." 
 
Recalling the incident, she said that when she arrived at the hotel room, everything seemed perfect and nothing was "peculiarly odd," adding that Weinstein was "very nice" and "very friendly." 
 
But,&nbsp;approximately 40 minutes later, he ended his message abruptly. After which, she went to wash&nbsp;her hands for&nbsp;packing her stuff and leaving. But at that moment, Weinstein attacked her in the bathroom and started masturbating in the room.

A celebrity masseuse, who is going by the name, Jane Doe, testified against Harvey Weinstein in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday as she shared the shocking details about her encounter with the defamed filmmaker. A licenced massage therapist tearfully shared with the jury how Harvey sexually assaulted her at his Beverly Hills hotel in 2010 right after she gave Weinstein a massage. Jane shared Harvey followed her to the bathroom, where he started doing inappropriate things in front of her. Despite all her effort to stop him, Harvey continued harassing her as he pushed Doe towards the wall.

Joe said further that she kept telling Weinstein "no" and "tried backing away from him as far as possible." But he kept on doing everything. "I was terrified," she testified. "I thought I was about to get raped." Recalling the incident, she said that when she arrived at the hotel room, everything seemed perfect and nothing was "peculiarly odd," adding that Weinstein was "very nice" and "very friendly." But, approximately 40 minutes later, he ended his message abruptly. After which, she went to wash her hands for packing her stuff and leaving. But at that moment, Weinstein attacked her in the bathroom and started masturbating in the room. "While she was washing her hands, the bathroom door opened and Weinstein was standing all naked and was masturbating," she shared. "He just kept yelling at me," she said. "I told him to leave me alone." During the trial, deputy D.A. Marlene Martinez asked Jane whether she tried to move him away and ran away, to which she explained, "There was no physical way to get around him. It wasn’t possible because Harvey is so big."

Massage therapist shares shocking details about Harvey Weinstein: 'He masturbated in front of me'

The judge in the ongoing Los Angeles sexual assault trial against Harvey Weinstein has advised the jury not to watch the trailer for 'She Said', reported Deadline. The upcoming Maria Schrader directorial is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by the New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. It that explores allegations of rape and sexual harassment by dozens of actresses and other women against Weinstein, who was then one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. Already serving a 23-year sentence in an earlier New York trial, Weinstein now faces 11 more charges, including rape and sexual battery, in an LA court.

Written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, the film features Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan in the lead roles of Kantor and Twohey. &nbsp;Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Jennifer Ehle, and Samantha Morton also star. Ashley Judd appears as herself.

Judge Lisa Lench told the jury of nine men and three women to not watch the trailer. This was after Weinstein's attorneys tried to delay the case citing concern that the marketing of the film might influence jurors.

'She Said' is set to be released on November 18.

The first woman to testify against Weinstein in the LA trial was a model and actor based in Rome who has accused him of sexually assaulting him in 2013. She claimed that she was staying in a hotel under a pseudonym and was surprised to find Weinstein knocking on her doors. She didn't think much of it, but then Weinstein began to get sexually aggressive. She said that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him.

In the opening arguments, Weinstein's attorney Mark Werksman aimed to discredit the testifying women, saying they are actors and will do a job on the witness stand. And the job, he said, will be to fit the narrative of the #MeToo movement.

The defence argument continued by saying that every sexual encounter of the women with Weinstein was consensual and something that they are embarrassed about so they are lying now.

He rued the fact that the #MeToo movement was "Hollywood's Chernobyl" that has turned Weinstein into a "smouldering radioactive" bad guy.&nbsp;
