Prosecutors anticipate Harvey Weinstein retrial as new victims surface

Harvey Weinstein appeared before a Manhattan criminal court Tuesday as prosecutors pursue new sexual assault allegations and a likely retrial for the former producer.

“We believe the defendant forcibly raped and sexually abused women in Manhattan that fall within the statute of limitations,” Nicole Blumberg, the assistant district attorney, said. “There were women in 2020 who were not ready to proceed with the legal process. They are now ready.”
