Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault retrial in New York begins in November.
July 18 2024, Published 8:50 p.m. ET
Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein may have had his New York conviction for rape overturned on a technicality, but even more women are lining up to accuse the sex fiend of assaulting them, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
His 2020 rape conviction was overturned in April by New York’s highest appeals court.
In the ruling, the judge stated: “We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes. The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.”

Weinstein is plagued by diabetes, heart disease and macular degeneration.
That retrial is slated to start in November, and prosecutors say more alleged victims are coming forward.
Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told the court: “The People are still investigating in a trauma-informed manner. That is an ongoing process.”
Weinstein’s attorney, Arthur Aidala, blasted the prosecution for their “delay tactics” and also charged they are seeking other victims because their case isn’t “strong enough”.
He groused: “Once again, they’re doing a 1-800-Get-Harvey.”

Weinstein's 2022 rape and sexual assault convictions in Los Angeles still stand.
Weinstein maintained his innocence in both the New York and Los Angeles trials, claiming that all his sexual encounters with his accusers were consensual.
Since allegations of Weinstein's abuse of power within the industry were made public in 2017, following reporting from The New York Times and The New Yorker, women across Hollywood came forward with accusations of sexual misconduct and sparked the infamous #MeToo movement.
The movement did not stop with Hollywood's A-list, either. Women across social media shared powerful and disturbing first-hand accounts of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
