Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday that they intend to bring new sexual assault charges against Harvey Weinstein as they anticipate a November retrial.
Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said in court that prosecutors are actively pursuing claims of rape that occurred in Manhattan within the statute of limitations.New York trialBut when pressed by the judge, Blumberg said prosecutors have not yet brought their findings to a grand jury. She also said she could not provide the court a timeline for when their investigation will be complete.
“Once again, they’re doing the ’1-800-Get-Harvey,” he said outside the courthouse following the morning hearing. “They’re trying to find someone else to come forward because I guess they feel that their current case is not strong enough.” When asked by Judge Curtis Farber what month she anticipated, Blumberg responded: “November would be a realistic timeframe.”
“He’s basically getting no treatment for any of it,” Aidala said. “He’s not a young man. He’s a sick man.”Judge Farber set the next pre-trial hearing for July 19. Weinstein’s other accuser, Mimi Haley, did not attend Tuesday’s hearing and has expressed reluctance about going through the trauma of testifying again. Her lawyer, Gloria Allred, said in an email Tuesday that her client has not yet made her decision about participating in the retrial.
“He was in better shape before his case was reversed when he was upstate in a hospital facility and he was getting treatment and medication,” Aidala said Tuesday after the hearing.
