Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to a new indictment.
9:05 AM PDT, August 26, 2019Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to a new indictment Monday that includes two new charges of predatory sexual assault, a development that caused the judge to delay the start of his trial until early next year. The tweak to the case was intended to open the door for an actress to testify against Weinstein in a rape and sexual assault trial that had been scheduled to start on Sept. 9.
Weinstein was in and out of a Manhattan courthouse quickly to enter the plea. He didn't speak with reporters. Weinstein previously pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment accusing him of raping a woman in 2013 and performing a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006. The two charges in the new indictment relate to the same women, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Prosecutors have asked a judge to consolidate the two indictments into one case.
In a press conference, Allred said she believes it was"essential" for other accusers whose allegations can help prove a pattern of bad behavior to testify. Allred criticized the defense team for saying they would try to get her testimony barred.Weinstein, 67, who's free on $1 million bail, has denied all accusations of non-consensual sex.
