Read our privacy policy Harvey Weinstein is set to appear in a New York court ahead of his scheduled retrial on rape and sexual assault charges. During the last hearing in May, prosecutors told Judge Curtis Farber they are evaluating more claims of sexual misconduct made against Weinstein and could potentially seek a new indictment against him. She said some potential survivors that were not ready to step forward during Weinstein’s first New York trial may now be willing to testify. In April, New York’s highest court threw out Weinstein’s rape conviction after determining the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony against him based on allegations from other women that were not part of the case.
