Harvey Weinstein's retrial on sex crimes in Manhattan has been postponed until next year. A new allegation will be included in the case, prompting his lawyer to hire a private investigator. Weinstein's previous conviction was overturned earlier this year. He now faces two charges, including a new accusation of forcing oral sex on a woman in 2006. The trial was initially set for November 12 but will be rescheduled. A decision on the new trial date is expected by January 29, 2025.
