Convicted rapist and former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein will face extradition to California, where he is wanted to stand trial for criminal sexual assault charges, judge rules.

Weinstein has been charged with 11 counts of sexual assault in California involving five women, accused of assaults in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills from 2004 to 2013. The charges include rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint and sexual penetration by use of force.

Gloria Allred, a lawyer representing two of the women in the Los Angeles County criminal case, said she was"very glad" about the ruling.
