Manhattan prosecutors are filing new charges against the disgraced movie mogul after his previous conviction was overturned.

A Manhattan ruling on Friday set Nov. 12 as a tentative date for jury training to begin in a new sexual assault case against disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, whose 2020 sex crimes conviction in New York was canceled in April.
Alvin L. Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, said he planned to retry the case against Weinstein, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison in another sex crimes case in Los Angeles and is recently detained at Rikers. Island criminal complex.
State Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber, who is presiding over the case, said at a hearing Friday that he intends to move the case forward and needs the timeline confirmed.
“As we get closer to the fall, I will begin to seek commitments for trial dates,” he said at the hearing.
Manhattan prosecutors said this month that they were aware of rape and sexual assault allegations against Weinstein that they planned to present to a grand jury. The charges, some of which prosecutors knew about at the time of the first trial, sometimes occurred within the statute of limitations to file charges, prosecutors said.
Nicole Blumberg, an assistant district attorney, told the court last week that women were not in a position to move forward before, but some are now. On Friday, Blumberg did not mention a new allegation or provide further details about the allegations in question.
