Harvey Weinstein was arraigned on an additional sex crimes charge in a New York City courtroom ahead of his retrial in his #MeToo case. He pleaded not guilty to one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree. The charge stemmed from an alleged assault in 2006. Over 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, inspiring the #MeToo movement. A previous conviction was overturned, leading to a new trial scheduled for November. Weinstein’s accusers, including Jessica Mann and Mimi Haley, plan to testify against him. His legal team is also appealing a previous conviction in Los Angeles. Weinstein was a prominent figure in the movie industry before numerous allegations of sexual misconduct emerged in 2017. The case against him has been ongoing, with Weinstein currently in custody awaiting trial. The allegations have sparked a broader conversation about abuse of power in various industries.
