BREAKING: Harvey Weinstein indicted on new sex crime charges in Los Angeles just as his trial in a separate case in New York was about to get underway.
LOS ANGELES — Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on new sex crime charges in Los Angeles, just as his trial on separate rape and sexual assault charges in New York was poised to get underway, prosecutors announced Monday.
The Los Angeles district attorney’s task force is still investigating sex crime allegations against Weinstein from three women, Lacey said. Prosecutors declined charges involving three other women because their cases were beyond the statute of limitations. “There is a potential L.A. situation going on,” his lawyer, Donna Rotunno, told reporters after the hearing.
Across the street, actresses and other women who say they were sexually harassed or assaulted by Weinstein dismissed him as a villain undeserving of anyone’s pity. “In this great country, you are innocent until proven guilty,” she told reporters outside the courthouse. They also wanted jurors to hear from a few of the more than 75 women who have come forward publicly to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct ranging from harassment to assault. The first allegations were brought to light by The New York Times and The New Yorker in October 2017.
