Harvey Weinstein Enters Not Guilty Plea
Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault.
The disgraced movie mogul – who has previously been indicted on charges involving two women appeared at Manhattan Supreme Court where he denied an allegation from a third woman over a sex act allegedly performed in 2006.
Prosecutors argued that the 66-year-old producer should be placed on house arrest in New York City because of the potential life sentence he faces, and the sale of his mansion.
However, Weinstein’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman, insisted house arrest wasn’t necessary as his client is wearing a location-monitoring ankle bracelet and has previously surrendered his passport.
The disgraced executive was also told to sign two new orders of protection in relation to the case.
