The disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein has been charged with rape, a criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for alleged incidents involving two separate women, after he earlier surrendered to authorities in New York.
He said Weinstein intended to move very quickly to dismiss the charges, calling them “constitutionally flawed” and “not factually supported”.
Previously Brafman said in court paperwork that the Weinstein allegations were “entirely without merit” and that he never knowingly broke the law.
Weinstein was marched into the court building with officers on either side, interlocking their arms with his.
