Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who became the face of the #MeToo movement for sex crimes in 2017, is now facing new criminal charges in New York. The new indictment comes after New York’s highest court threw out Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape, citing unfair testimony allowances by the trial judge.

The grand jury returned the indictment, but the new charges are unknown. The indictment remains sealed while the 72-year-old Weinstein recovers from emergency heart surgery at a Manhattan hospital.
A judge granted Weinstein permission to remain at Bellevue Hospital indefinitely because of ongoing health concerns that require constant monitoring and treatment.
Despite maintaining that all sexual encounters were consensual, Weinstein’s legal troubles have mounted, with convictions in both New York and Los Angeles.
The retrial is tentatively scheduled for November.
