Prosecutors accuse disgraced former Hollywood mogul of sexually assaulting woman in Manhattan hotel in 2006.
Disgraced former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to a new sexual assault charge, years after accusations that he abused dozens of women made him the public face of the #MeToo movement in the United States.
The 72-year-old Weinstein entered a not-guilty plea before Justice Curtis Farber in a New York state court in Manhattan on Wednesday.
“Thanks to this survivor who bravely came forward, Harvey Weinstein now stands indicted for an additional alleged violent sexual assault,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
Prosecutors have accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting a woman in a Manhattan hotel between April 29 and May 6, 2006. No details about the accuser have been released.
