Weinstein in a wheelchair in court: new charges for sexual violence!

In New York, the detained filmmogul Harvey Weinstein recently commented on a new indictment in connection with sexual assault. These allegations refer to an incident from the spring of 2006, in which a woman states that Weinstein is said to have attacked her in a hotel in Manhattan.

Weinstein appeared in a wheelchair on Wednesday after he had to undergo heart surgery on September 8th. Despite his health, he did not advocate guilty. His spokesman said that they did not know any details about the accused person, the incident or the location, but decided to vehemently take action against the allegations. Weinstein emphasizes that all sexual acts were always mutual.

The role of the Grand Jury

This new indictment had already become known last week, but essential details remained unclear. A Grand Jury, a group of selected jury, had decided that there was enough evidence to initiate another procedure against the 72-year-old Weinstein. The establishment of the Grand Jury is a necessary step so that the public prosecutor can file charges.

The present indictment is not related to the judgment of 2020, in which Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for sexual abuse. This judgment had recently been lifted in an appeal procedure by a court in New York, and the public prosecutor plans to reopen the proceedings. A possible start date for the new process is planned for November this year.

Weinstein's case not only caused a sensation, but also triggered a wave of discussion about sexual assault in the film industry. The allegations led to a global movement known as #metoo, and encouraged numerous women to publicly make their experiences and experiences. In recent years, similar allegations have been made against a large number of men from the entertainment industry.

In the light of these developments, it remains to be seen how the new process will develop. The public's attention is focused on the negotiations that began on September 18, 2024.
