At a New York court today
Just days after a grand jury indicted Harvey Weinstein in two cases, the digraced movie producer pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and sexual assault in a New York court today.
Weinstein has said through his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, that he has never had nonconsensual sex and plans to plead not guilty.
Weinstein turned himself in at a New York police station on May 25, and was taken to court in handcuffs for his initial arraignment. A judge ordered him released on a $1m cash bail on condition that he surrender his US passport and agree to wear a location-tracking device. He was ordered to remain in New York state or Connecticut.
So far, more than 70 women have come forward and accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, including rape.
