Harvey Weinstein Makes First Court Appearance Since Cancer Diagnosis Made Public
Facing a new trial on new sex crimes charges, the much accused & convicted Harvey Weinstein was back in court just days after news of his cancer went public
The terms of his confinement changed after his emergency surgery: Days later, with Weinstein still too sick to appear in court in person, Judge Curtis Farber ruled on September 12 that he would not be returned to Rikers Island and would remain at the jail ward of Bellevue Hospital. More than 80 women working at all levels of the film industry have come forward to accuse Weinstein of rape and assault during and after the height of the MeToo movement that called out powerful men in entertainment, politics and business for exploitive and abusive behavior. One of those suit was brought forth in October 2023 by actress Julia Ormond against Weinstein, Disney, CAA and Miramax under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which extended the statute of limitations for alleged victims of sexual assault to sue.
