Harvey Weinstein, 67, hobbles into court with the help of an aide for hearing on sexual assault trial
- Weinstein arrived at court in Manhattan on Friday looking frailer than in the past
- The 67-year-old is due to stand trial in January on five sexual assault charges
- He denies them all and has repeatedly tried to have the case thrown out
Harvey Weinstein was helped into court in Manhattan on Friday for a hearing on his sexual assault case.
The 67-year-old looked frailer than at his last appearance in July, clinging on to one of his aides as he made his way into the courthouse while another carried a cane.
Friday’s hearing is to determine bail hearings again before state law changes in January.
Weinstein will go to trial in New York in January on five counts; first degree rape, third degree rape, criminal sexual act and two counts of predatory sexual assault.
The charges relate to two incidents involving two women; one who says she was raped by him in March 2013 and one who says he forced her into performing oral sex on him in 2006. He has repeatedly tried to have the case against him thrown out.
