Manhattan prosecutors have told a judge they are evaluating new claims of sexual misconduct made against Harvey Weinstein.
Wednesday, May 29, 2024 8:24PMManhattan prosecutors told a judge Wednesday they are evaluating new claims of sexual misconduct made against Harvey Weinstein and could potentially seek a new indictment against the former movie mogul ahead of his scheduled retrial on rape charges later this year.
When asked by Judge Curtis Farber whether there was a possibility of prosecutors filing a new indictment, Blumberg replied: "Yes, your honor." Blumberg said prosecutors would be in a better position to update the court on the direction of the case at the end of June. The retrial on the rape charge is tentatively scheduled for some time after Labor Day.
Aidala apologized to the judge but said he didn't intend to intimidate anyone and that it is the defense's position that "lies were told at the last trial, and will be told at this one." The New York ruling reopened a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures. The #MeToo era began in 2017 with a flood of allegations against Weinstein.
