Harvey Weinstein was arraigned on an additional sex crimes charge in a New York City courtroom Wednesday, roughly two months ahead of a retrial in the disgraced Hollywood producer’s landmark #MeToo case.
“Thanks to this survivor who bravely came forward, Harvey Weinstein now stands indicted for an additional alleged violent sexual assault,” Bragg said.
“This investigation is ongoing.”In all, more than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault or harassment going back decades.
(He was acquitted of two counts of predatory sexual assault and a count of first-degree rape.)
(The jury acquitted him of a count of sexual battery by restraint and failed to reach a verdict on three other sexual assault counts.)
