Harvey Weinstein appeared in a New York courtroom on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to one count of a criminal sex act in the 1st degree.
NEW YORK -- The new charges were announced last week, but the indictment was sealed until the 72-year-old disgraced Hollywood mogul could be medically cleared to attend the arraignment. He was unable to attend the initial court hearing, because he was at Bellevue Hospital recovering from emergency heart and lung surgery.Weinstein is currently awaiting retrial in his overturned 2020 rape conviction.
Accuser Jessica Mann, who testified during the first trial, released a statement after last week's hearing, saying in part, 'This decision once again shows that people who abuse their position of power cannot avoid justice; only at times delay it with means such as wealth, fame, and connections.
