Manhattan prosecutors recently told a court hearing they had evidence of up to three more allegations against Weinstein.

Earlier this week, Weinstein, 72, was rushed to a New York hospital for emergency heart surgery. He is already awaiting a retrial in the city after his 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges was overturned by an appeals court this year.

The case was thrown out after it was ruled that the judge in the original trial had allowed evidence to be presented about allegations that were not part of the case.
