New Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Harvey Weinstein: Manhattan Prosecutors Evaluate Claims from Additional Accusers

Harvey Weinstein, the former Hollywood producer, is facing potential new charges of sexual misconduct as Manhattan prosecutors evaluate claims from additional accusers. According to reports, some survivors who were not ready to testify during Weinstein's first New York trial may now be willing to do so.

Prosecutors are currently assessing which allegations fall within the statute of limitations and plan to seek an indictment if they find sufficient evidence. The possibility of a new indictment was announced during a court hearing on May 29, 2024, where Weinstein appeared in person.

Weinstein's original trial took place in the same New York City courthouse where former President Donald Trump is currently on trial. The retrial on the rape charge against Weinstein is tentatively scheduled for some time after Labor Day this September.

The disgraced producer was convicted of rape in the third degree for an attack on Jessica Mann and sexually assaulting Miriam Haley in 2020. However, New York's highest court overturned those convictions due to errors made during the trial, allowing testimony from other accusers that were not part of the case.

Weinstein has maintained that any sexual activity was consensual. The #MeToo era began with allegations against Weinstein in 2017, and leaders of the movement have stated their commitment to continuing the cause.

Prosecutors asked Judge Curtis Farber to remind Weinstein's lawyers not to discuss or disparage potential witnesses in public ahead of the retrial. Weinstein is also facing charges in Los Angeles for another rape and is currently serving a 23-year sentence in New York.
