Harvey Weinstein returns to court for hearing ahead of retrial on sex crime charges

Harvey Weinstein is scheduled for a court hearing in New York on Wednesday as he prepares for a retrial on sex crime charges linked to his #MeToo case. The judge will consider a request to combine his current case with a new charge. Weinstein's previous conviction was overturned earlier this year. He now faces a new charge of forcing oral sex on a woman in 2006, in addition to the original charges from his earlier trial. He has pleaded not guilty. The trial is tentatively set to begin on November 12, but both sides have raised concerns about the timeline for preparation. Weinstein remains in custody at Rikers Island and has experienced health issues while incarcerated.
