Harvey Weinstein Pleads Not Guilty to New York Sex Crime Charge
---------------------------------------------------------------

Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to a new
sex crime charge in New York this week. Weinstein, who has been accused
of rape and sexual assault by over 80 survivors, is currently awaiting
retrial after a 2020 rape conviction was overturned. He was separately
convicted in 2022 in a Los Angeles rape case and remains behind bars.
Earlier this week, a federal judge in California dismissed a sex
trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein and
Madison Square Garden Chief Executive James Dolan. The men are accused
of sexually assaulting a massage therapist named Kellye Croft.
