More Weinstein charges
HARVEY Weinstein, who was previously indicted on charges involving two women, is set to front court for arraignment on charges alleging he committed a sex crime against a third woman.
An updated indictment alleges the movie mogul- turned#MeToo villain performed a forcible sex act on a woman in 2006. The new charges include two counts of predatory sexual assault, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison upon conviction.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said the 66-year-old Weinstein is charged with “some of the most serious sexual offenses” that exist under state law.
A lawyer for Weinstein has said he will plead not guilty.
