The disgraced media mogul already faced five felony charges: two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree and one count each of first-degree rape and third-degree rape.
Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, and his attorneys have said the acts were consensual. While these are two new charges, prosecutors said that if the judge finds them duplicative of the existing predatory sexual assault charges, then they would want to move forward on the new charges. That would effectively swap out the old predatory sexual assault charges for the new ones.
Monday's court hearing could also take up the possibility of"Sopranos" actress Annabella Sciorra testifying in the case, as well as Weinstein's request to move the trial out of New York City.'Sopranos' actress may testify in Harvey Weinstein trial, source saysProsecutors have been jockeying for months to get the actress' account into the trial to support charges of predatory sexual assault against Weinstein.
