Manhattan prosecutors revealed in court Wednesday that they are evaluating new sexual misconduct claims against Harvey Weinstein as they prepare for his upcoming retrial on rape and sexual assault charges.
Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told the judge that additional people have recently come forward with assault allegations against the disgraced movie mogul. Prosecutors are assessing which claims may fall within the statute of limitations.
“Some potential survivors that were not ready to step forward during Weinstein’s first New York trial may now be willing to testify,” Blumberg stated. When asked if a new indictment was possible, she responded, “Yes, your honor.”
Blumberg said the prosecution would update the court on the case’s direction by late June. The next hearing was scheduled for July 9, with Weinstein’s retrial tentatively set for after Labor Day.

Harvey Weinstein may face a new indictment on criminal sexual misconduct charges, Manhattan prosecutors told a judge today.
According to the Associated Press, Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told a judge that they are evaluating additional claims of assault from additional accusers who have come forward. She said that a new indictment is possible, even as Weinstein faces a retrial later this year after his 2020 conviction was overturned.
Weinstein appeared at the hearing today, held in the same Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump is awaiting a jury’s verdict in his hush money case.
Weinstein was convicted in February 2020 on first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape after allegations by two women, Mimi Haley and Jessica Mann. But a New York appeals court overturned Weinstein’s conviction last month, ruling that the introduction of prior bad acts testimony was prejudicial to the jury. Weinstein also was convicted of sexual assault in...

More accusers may come forward to testify in Harvey Weinstein’s New York retrial this fall, prosecutors said in court. On Wednesday, the former movie producer appeared in a Manhattan courtroom a month after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction.
Nicole Blumberg, Manhattan’s Assistant District Attorney, told the judge that “some people who were not ready to speak out in 2020” may now do so for the new trial. An exact date for the retrial has yet to be announced, but it’s expected to be sometime after Labor Day.
Weinstein arrived in the courtroom in a wheelchair and sported a shaved head. He gave a thumbs up to his colleagues as two security officers wheeled him in.
Blumberg asked Judge Curtis Farber that Weinstein’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, refrain from making public statements about witnesses that may intimidate or discourage them from testifying. Prosecutors alleged...

Harvey Weinstein is expected to stand trial again in New York after his previous conviction was overturned by New York’s top appeals court.
Weinstein appeared in court today, May 1 for a hearing, his first time appearing in New York court since he was convicted back in 2020. Weinstein was in a wheelchair and was seated next to his lawyer Arthur Aidala, who told the court Weinstein has “very, very serious medical issues” but is still mentally sharp and could end up testifying on his own behalf in a new trial.
Judge Curtis Faber set a hearing for discovery for May 29, at which point prosecutors will also file a certificate of compliance. If filed by that date, the judge expects a trial could begin at some point after Labor Day.
Jessica Mann, one of the women who testified in the original case against Weinstein, was also present in the courthouse on Wednesday.

Harvey Weinstein appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday, less than a week after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction. It’s the first time the former movie producer has been seen in public since he was convicted of rape in a Los Angeles court and sentenced to 16 years in prison in February 2023.
Weinstein was seated in a wheelchair and wheeled by a security guard into a courtroom packed with journalists, lawyers and other officials. Lawyer Gloria Allred and Weinstein accuser Jessica Mann were present in the room. Prosecutor Nicole Blumberg from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said they will seek a retrial in the fall.
“[Mann] wants everyone to know the truth, and the defendant may have power and privilege, but she has the truth,” Blumberg said, adding they “have every reason to believe” Weinstein will be convicted in a retrial.

“We believe in this case, and we will be retrying this case,” prosecutors in Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape case told a judge today in the first hearing since the much-accused producer’s 2020 conviction was overturned last week. “It was a strong case in 2020 …and it remains a strong case in 2024,” added Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg.
Weinstein was sitting in the courtroom as the officials from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office announced their intention to take the case back to a jury. The trial could begin as quickly as September, if room can be found on the court calendar.
“We are happy to hear that the prosecutors want a speedy trial,” Weinstein chief attorney Arthur Aidala told the court as he once again proclaimed his client’s innocence. “It’s a new trial, it’s a new day … his life is on the line.”
