Wein tests positive for the virus: report

Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus, just days after he started his 23-year state prison sentence.

The monstrous movie mogul (inset), who turned 68 Thursday, is one of two inmates infected by COVID-19 at Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, just outside Buffalo, according to the Niagara Gazette.

A Manhattan Supreme Court jury convicted Weinstein last month of committing a criminal sexual act and third-degree rape for sexually assaulting his former production assistant Miriam Haley and raping actress Jessica Mann.

Weinstein was sent to

Rikers Island right after his sentencing, then went to Bellevue Hospital with chest pains. After returning to Rikers, he was transferred from the jail’s North Infirmary Command to Wende on Wednesday.

He’s since been placed in isolation, the Niagara Gazette reported, citing officials connected to the state prison system. Officials believe he had the coronavirus before arriving at Wende, the paper reported.

A spokesman for the state Department of Corrections

and Community Supervision couldn’t confirm Sunday whether Weinstein has been sickened with the fastspreading infection.

“The department cannot comment on an individual’s medical record. However, we can confirm that two of the department’s approximately 43,000 incarcerated individuals, both at Wende Correctional Facility, have confirmed cases,” said spokesman Thomas Mailey.

Weinstein’s lawyer Arthur Aidala said his defense team sent a prison consultant to Wende on Sunday, but wasn’t able to confirm his condition.

Weinstein’s earliest release date is Nov. 9, 2039, and he still faces four counts of sexual assault in Los Angeles.
