Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein on Thursday was indicted on additional sex crime charges, coming just days after he was rushed to the hospital for emergency heart surgery. The indictment will remain under seal until Weinstein is arraigned on September 18.

According to the Daily Mail, Weinstein was not present at the hearing on Thursday as he was recovering at a Manhattan hospital following the surgery to remove fluid from his heart and lungs. 

Prosecutors retrying Weinstein’s overturned rape conviction said last week that they had begun presenting evidence of three additional allegations brought forth against Weinstein stretching back to the mid-2000s. The allegations include ones of sexual assaults at the Tribeca Grand Hotel and in a Lower Manhattan residential building between late 2005 and mid-2006, as well as an alleged sexual assault that occurred at a Tribeca hotel in May 2016. According to the Associated Press, it is currently unclear whether the new indictment involved any of the new allegations. 

Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges was overturned earlier in 2024 after the Court of Appeals determined that the trial’s judge had unfairly allowed testimony against Weinstein based on allegations brought forth by women who were not part of the trial.

A judge ruled during the Thursday hearing that Weinstein would be allowed to remain at Bellevue Hospital instead of returning to Rikers Island.
