Covid And Pneumonia Sent Harvey Weinstein To The Hospital

 

According to documents from the New York City Department of Correction, Weinstein, 72, was in the Bellevue Hospital prison unit on Thursday.


According to a statement from his agents, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who is incarcerated, was sent to a hospital in New York on Thursday due to a number of illnesses, including Covid.

According to documents from the New York City Department of Correction, Weinstein, 72, was in the Bellevue Hospital prison unit on Thursday.

According to a statement released by publicist Juda Engelmayer, citing Craig Rothfeld, Weinstein's authorized representative and "prison consultant," the man was found guilty of rape charges in both New York and California. Additionally, Weinstein has diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid on his heart and lungs, and pneumonia. He was also recently tested positive for Covid.

In February 2020, Manhattan jurors convicted Weinstein guilty of rape charges; but, in April, the New York court of appeals overturned the verdict, concluding that Weinstein was not given a fair trial because a judge had unlawfully admitted testimony from accusers who had not been formally accused.

Weinstein, who has been admitted to Bellevue Hospital on many occasions, has denied any misconduct and any non-consensual intercourse with anybody.

As early as September, he may face a new trial in Manhattan on allegations of rape. Weinstein's attorneys stated that they would like to move forward right away.

After more women volunteered to testify, prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office said that they planned to file charges against Weinstein for "additional violent sexual assaults."

The #MeToo movement, in which women accused hundreds of men in politics, entertainment, and other sectors of sexual misconduct, saw a turning point with Weinstein's conviction.

An inquest determined that the co-founder of Miramax Film Studios had raped aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013 and sexually molested former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. He received a 23-year jail term.

In addition, Weinstein received a 16-year term in a different California rape conviction.
