Harvey Weinstein has "begged" the court for an earlier start date for his trial.
The 72-year-old disgraced movie mogul - who is currently serving a 16-year sentence after being convicted on rape and sexual assault charges in Los Angeles in 2022 and awaiting a retrial after his 2020 convictions in New York for first-degree criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape were overturned - is battling cancer and on Wednesday (29.01.25), asked the judge to bring forward his trial from its current scheduled date of April 15.
