Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized After NY Conviction Overturned

Harvey Weinstein, a disgraced Hollywood movie mogul, was rushed to the hospital in New York after the city’s highest court overturned his 2020 conviction on sex crime charges. The decision reversed a key case of the #MeToo movement, but Weinstein will continue to serve a 16-year rape sentence in California. His lawyer stated that he needed immediate medical attention and is undergoing tests and observation at Bellevue Hospital. Weinstein, now 72, was convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. Despite the court’s decision, Weinstein still faces legal challenges in the Los Angeles case. The Queen also stripped him of his honorary Commander of the British Empire title after his conviction for rape in 2020. Engelmayer, a spokesperson for Weinstein, cautiously expressed hope for the future, acknowledging the hurdles ahead.
