Harvey Weinstein indicted on new charges by New York grand jury

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced mogul whose alleged sexual misconduct fueled the #MeToo movement, has been indicted on new charges by a New York City grand jury.

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul whose alleged sexual misconduct fueled the #MeToo movement, has been indicted on new charges by a New York City grand jury, Manhattan prosecutors announced during a court hearing Thursday.

The new indictment is under seal, prosecutor Nicole Blumberg told Judge Curtis Farber, who has set a trial date for Nov. 12.

NBC News was first to report this month that a grand jury had been convened to hear from women who had come forward with new accusations against Weinstein, 72.

Weinstein did not appear in court Thursday. He was rushed from the Rikers Island jail to Bellevue Hospital earlier this week for emergency heart surgery. He will be arraigned after he recovers from his medical issues.

In all, more than 80 women have accused the Oscar-winning ex-producer of sexual assault or harassment. He has repeatedly and vehemently denied those claims, insisting the encounters in question were consensual.
