Harvey Weinstein charged again in New York after conviction overturned

A grand jury in New York on Thursday filed charges against disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein, prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office said in court.

Weinstein, who is recovering from emergency heart surgery, was not present and prosecutors asked the judge to set a date for his arraignment.

The new indictment remains sealed pending arraignment, so the charges are not yet known. As ABC News previously reported, prosecutors presented evidence of three alleged sexual assaults from different time periods that were not part of his previous case.

Transcripts from a court hearing last week show that the Manhattan district attorney's office had previously presented evidence to the grand jury of an alleged sexual assault that occurred sometime over a four-month period between late 2005 and mid-2006 in a Lower Manhattan apartment building.

Prosecutors also said they were aware of two other possible crimes: a sexual assault in May 2016 at a Tribeca hotel and a possible sexual assault that occurred at the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Thursday's hearing came days after Weinstein was transferred from Rikers Island, where he is being held, to Bellevue Hospital, where he underwent emergency heart surgery after suffering chest pains, his representatives told ABC News.

His trial is tentatively scheduled for this fall.

Weinstein denies any wrongdoing and says his sexual encounters were consensual.

The charges came months after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction.

In a scathing 4-3 ruling in April, the court found that the trial judge “wrongly admitted testimony about uncharged alleged prior sexual conduct with persons other than the plaintiffs in the underlying crimes.”

The court stated that the statement “served no substantial non-bias-related purpose” and “portrayed the defendant in a highly prejudicial light.”

Weinstein has also appealed against a conviction for sexual offenses in Los Angeles, where he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
