Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood movie producer, has denied assaulting actress Angelina Jolie. The actress had recently accused him of assaulting her at the age of 21. In an interview, Jolie said that when she was doing ‘Playing by Heart’ in 1998, Harvey abused her as he and Bob Weinstein had executive-produced the film.&nbsp;

“If you get yourself out of the room, you think he attempted but didn’t, right? The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault,” Jolie said and added that she subsequently “warned people about him” and attempted to “spread the word” that women should not “go alone with” him.

Harvey Weinstein denies assaulting Angelina Jolie, slams her for 'clickbait publicity'

American film producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, will be brought to trail within four months by the Los Angeles Country District Office.&nbsp;

 
According to a news report by an international media organisation, on June 15, a judge in Buffalo (New York) has approved to move Weinstein to Los Angeles and the transfer is expected sometime in July. But Weinstein, who is in prison in upstate New York, has been fighting this extradition since April this year. His lawyers have continued to object the extradition move, this time in Los Angeles.

&nbsp; 
Weinstein’s lawyers have mentioned in a petition last month that the movie producer is suffering from a massive cataract in his right eye and an active lesion in the left. They mentioned in the petition that in order to prevent him from going blind, Weinstein needs to be treated and it could take anywhere between six to nine months. His team of lawyers have also asked that the extradition should be delayed until after the treatment is over and once the medical staff gives a go-ahead for him to be transferred.&nbsp;

 
The report also said that as per the law, Los Angeles prosecutors have 120 days to bring Weinstein to trail once he is transferred. However, his lawyers argue that the District Attorney’s office knows it cannot bring Weinstein to trail within that time frame because he is not medically fit to stand trial.&nbsp;

 
Reacting to the content of the petition this week, prosecutors said that the L.A County Sheriff’s Department can provide adequate care to Weinstein and that the District Attorney’s office has no problem with the 120-day deadline to start with the proceedings of the trail.&nbsp;

 
&nbsp;“The People are ready to bring Petitioner to trial,” wrote Deputy District Attorney Cassandra Thorpe, claims the report.&nbsp;

 
Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers repeatedly argue that the DA’s state forces him either to ‘forgo the treatment and risk going blind’ or waive his ‘right to a speedy trail once extradited’.&nbsp;

 
The film producer, 69, faces 11 sexual assault charges in Los Angeles involving five women. He was convicted in February of 2020 and was sentenced to 23 years in prison.&nbsp;

Harvey Weinstein’s trial can start within four months in Los Angeles, suggests report

Harvey Weinstein’s victims of sexual assault are dropping out of the proposed class-action settlement and it could become a big deal if the number increases. According to various lawyers as per media reports, if a certain number of women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct prior to 2005 opt out of the settlement, then the whole victims’ compensation fund could fall flat.&nbsp;

The proposed agreement, which includes an $18.8 million victims fund, would resolve many civil claims against Weinstein, The Weinstein Co. and several of its directors and execs — none of whom have admitted any wrongdoing. Wigdor Law, which represents several women with claims against the now-jailed producer, immediately decried the deal as "a complete sellout of the Weinstein survivors."

As part of the proposed settlement, the parties are to submit a written agreement regarding women who could opt out of the deal. It would result in the insurance company's right to withdraw from the settlement. If any of those parties withdraw, the whole settlement is null and void and the cases pick back up where they left off in court.&nbsp;

Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-court-sentences-harvey-weinstein-to-23-years-in-prison-285682">23 years in prison</a>&nbsp;for sexual assault and rape conviction.&nbsp;Weinstein was found guilty of a criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree on February 24, 2020.

Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse victims seek secrecy for opt-out agreement

Harvey Weinstein got convicted on the charges of sexual abuse and rape earlier this year after several women accused him of sexual abuse, harassment and rape. The victims have now been handed over an $18.875 million settlement with Harvey Weinstein, The Weinstein Company Holdings and certain former officers, directors and employees of TWC.

The plaintiffs had filed their motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement which if approved by the court, will create a victims’ fund allowing all women who were abused by Harvey Weinstein under certain circumstances to make claims for damages in a confidential and non-adversarial process.

This was originally filed in 2017 alleging that the former producer was a serial sexual harasser and abuser, and the various companies with which he was affiliated, as well as certain respective current and former officers and directors, failed to stop or prevent his actions in violation of federal and state law.

Elizabeth Fegan of FeganScott, one of the firms leading the case said, “This settlement is the culmination of several years of hard work by survivors who not only initiated the #MeToo movement around Weinstein, but also used their platforms to seek justice for all of those who were afraid to come forward for fear of retaliation in Hollywood. The plaintiffs’ use of the class action to negotiate a confidential process where all survivors can apply for meaningful relief was truly selfless and a victory for all women in Hollywood.”

Sexual abuse victims of Harvey Weinstein win $19 million settlement

For anyone who thought that the worst was over for Harvey Weinstein, there’s a new lawsuit against him that claims that he raped four more women. This, &nbsp;including one woman who was 17 at the time of her attack.&nbsp;

According to new court documents filed in New York, four more women have alleged sexual assaults that occurred between 1984 and 2013.&nbsp;

Among those who have accused him, a 43 year-old woman alleges Weinstein raped her in 1994, when she was 17. The woman was just starting out in the entertainment industry and was recruited by one of Weinstein's associates "under the guise of doing business." When she went to meet the disgraced mogul at his hotel room, she saw him standing naked and insisted that to make it big in the industry, she had to "sexually gratify him." She was then "forced to remove her clothes" as he raped her.&nbsp;

As for why she didn’t tell anyone, Harvey Weinstein had threatened her that she would be physically tracked down and he would “physically harm her and her family."

A second woman, 70, alleges Weinstein raped her in 1984 when she was 34. The woman claims the incident happened in France during the Cannes Film Festival. She claims she accompanied a friend of hers, who worked with Weinstein in foreign sales, to a meeting with the producer. She alleges the mogul led her back to one of his suites at the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic in Cannes and "pinned her against the suite’s front door," before sexually assaulting her. The woman claims Weinstein threatened her and told her to keep quiet about the incident after letting her go.

A third woman, 38, alleges Weinstein raped her 2008 &nbsp;when she was 26. The woman claims Weinstein "scouted" her while the two were at Cipriani’s in New York City and assured her that he would connect her with powerful players that could "take her career to the next level." After showing up to a "business" meeting with Weinstein at his Soho apartment, she alleges that he threatened she couldn't leave the apartment "unless she did what he wanted." She alleges that Weinstein then raped her.&nbsp;

Bob Weinstein, Miramax and Disney are also named in the suit, which states that they "knew or reasonably should have known that Harvey Weinstein had a propensity to engage in sexual misconduct and would use his position and power to lure Plaintiffs and other similarly situated aspiring female actresses to his apartments, hotel rooms, offices, etc. under the guise of discussing business opportunities to sexually harass, batter, assault, falsely imprison and rape them."&nbsp;

The suit states: "There is no doubt that Robert Weinstein knew, or should have known, that his brother was a dangerous predator likely to sexually abuse other women like Plaintiffs given that he witnessed his brother’s behavior; received direct and indirect verbal and written complaints made by and on behalf of female victims and/or employees of Miramax who were sexually abused by Harvey Weinstein."&nbsp;

Weinstein has been accused of rape and sexual assault by more than 100 women.&nbsp;

In February, a jury of 12 men and women found Harvey Weinstein guilty and he was <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-court-sentences-harvey-weinstein-to-23-years-in-prison-285682">sentenced to 23 years</a> in prison following his conviction in New York on sexual assault and rape charges.

The former producer had been taken to Bellevue following his conviction on Feb. 24, after his bail was revoked and he was taken into custody. 
 
The Rikers Island jail complex, whose main building went up in 1932, has long been plagued by violence and neglect. New York City Mayor

Harvey Weinstein being moved to Rikers Island jail from hospital

Former movie producer Harvey Weinstein was receiving medical attention for chest pain at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday, his spokesman said, a day after a New York jury <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-sexual-assault-rape-282480">convicted him of sexual assault and rape</a> in a stunning victory for the #MeToo movement. 
 
Once one of Hollywood`s most influential producers, Weinstein, 67, was found guilty on Monday of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, in 2013. 
 
More than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault, and Weinstein has denied all of the accusations and said any sexual encounters were consensual. The allegations helped fuel the #MeToo movement on social media in 2017, which inspired more women to publicly accuse powerful men of misconduct. 
 
Juda Engelmayer, a spokesman for Weinstein, said on Monday that the onetime movie mogul was taken to Bellevue Hospital, which has a unit that provides medical care for jail inmates, after he was led away from court in handcuffs. If not for his medical concerns, the former producer would have gone to New York City`s Rikers Island jail complex.

Former movie producer Harvey Weinstein was receiving medical attention for chest pain at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday, his spokesman said, a day after a New York jury convicted him of sexual assault and rape in a stunning victory for the #MeToo movement. Once one of Hollywood`s most influential producers, Weinstein, 67, was found guilty on Monday of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, in 2013. More than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault, and Weinstein has denied all of the accusations and said any sexual encounters were consensual. The allegations helped fuel the #MeToo movement on social media in 2017, which inspired more women to publicly accuse powerful men of misconduct. Juda Engelmayer, a spokesman for Weinstein, said on Monday that the onetime movie mogul was taken to Bellevue Hospital, which has a unit that provides medical care for jail inmates, after he was led away from court in handcuffs. If not for his medical concerns, the former producer would have gone to New York City`s Rikers Island jail complex.
