Harvey Weinstein Pleads Not Guilty to Additional Criminal Sex Act Charge


Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to the additional criminal sex act charge he was indicted on last week in New York.

The appeals court ruled that Weinstein’s original trial erred by allowing three additional accusers to testify about their own assault allegations when they should not have been permitted. Their testimonies were prejudiced against Weinstein and didn’t shed any light on the charges he faced; the appeals court vacated the conviction and ordered a retrial. “The significant new criminal charges leveled today against Harvey Weinstein show that this Grand Jury, like so many others, can see clearly through his facade for what he truly is: a predator who must be held accountable for his crimes,” she said.
