NEW SEX ASSAULT CHARGES

NEW YORK: Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein on Monday pleaded not guilty to sex crimes against a third woman. He was escorted into a New York courtroom in handcuffs, dressed in a dark suit, tie and white shirt. He appeared to have lost weight. “Not guilty,” Weinstein replied when asked how he pleaded to the new charges: a criminal sexual act for allegedly forcing a woman into oral sex on July 10, 2006 and two counts of predatory sexual assault. – AFP
