NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein’s retrial on sex crimes charges in Manhattan won’t start until next year and a new allegation against the former movie mogul will be included in the case. The new details came as Weinstein appeared in court Wednesday for a pretrial hearing. He was already facing retrial on two sex crime charges after the state’s highest court overturned his 2020 conviction earlier this year. In September, Weinstein was hit with a new charge accusing him of another assault. He has pleaded not guilty. Judge Curtis Farber on Wednesday granted a prosecution request to consolidate both cases and said the next court date for Weinstein will be in late January.
