Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial postponed to next year with new allegations

Harvey Weinstein's retrial on sex crimes charges in Manhattan has been postponed until next year. A new allegation will be included in the case, prompting his lawyers to hire a private investigator. The trial was originally set for November 12. Weinstein faces charges related to two incidents, including a new accusation of forced oral sex in 2006. The judge agreed to consolidate the cases, despite Weinstein's lawyers arguing for separate trials. The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for January 29. Weinstein, who is currently in a wheelchair, has pleaded not guilty. He has faced multiple health issues while incarcerated, including recent heart surgery. His previous convictions have drawn significant media attention and contributed to the #MeToo movement.
