New Harvey Weinstein Sex Crimes Trial Is Set for April 15. The disgraced movie mogul will seek an earlier date due to his declining health. Mr. Weinstein, 72, faces three sex crime charges and recently requested a sooner trial after being held at Rikers Island. He told the judge he was “begging” for a rescheduling because of his condition. A New York judge ruled against dismissing his latest indictment. The trial date exchange included Mr. Weinstein expressing his desire to end his legal battle as quickly as possible. After years of legal troubles, including a 2020 conviction overturned by the state’s highest court, he is set for another retrial. His lawyers have criticized prosecutors for stalling and not pursuing additional charges due to his health issues.
