Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to a new sex crime charge, maintaining that sexual activity was consensual as he awaits retrial eight months after his 2020 conviction was overturned.
Prosecutors claim Weinstein was indicted on new sex crime charges stemming from up to three alleged assaults, though it’s unclear if they relate to the recent indictment.
The New York Court of Appeals ordered a retrial in Weinstein's case, overturning the previous conviction due to the judge's decision to permit inappropriate testimony against him that was not part of the case.
Weinstein's lawyers argue that the new charges should not be part of the retrial, while prosecutors aim to integrate them into the upcoming proceedings.
