Former US film producer, Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on additional sex crimes charges in New York ahead of a retrial, Manhattan prosecutors said at a court hearing Thursday.
The indictment will remain under seal until Weinstein is arraigned on the new charges, which could happen as early as Sept. 18.
Weinstein, 72, is recovering after undergoing emergency heart surgery on Monday at a Manhattan hospital .
Prosecutors had been seeking to retry the former movie producer after his 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges was overturned by a New York appeals court in April.
Weinstein, co-founder of film and TV production company Miramax, has maintained his innocence, arguing any sexual activity was consensual.
At a recent court hearing, a Manhattan District Attorney revealed prosecutors had begun presenting to a grand jury evidence of up to three additional allegations against him, dating back to the mid-2000s.
The retrial is currently scheduled for November.
The new charges come after UK prosecutors announced last week that they would no longer pursue charges of indecent assault against Weinstein.
He was the most prominent figure who faced accusations during the #MeToo movement in 2017, when women began going public with accounts of his behaviour.
The reversal of his conviction is the second relating to the #MeToo movement in the last few years, after the US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal over a 2021 Pennsylvania court decision to throw out Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction.
