Manhattan prosecutors announced plans to bring new sexual assault charges against Harvey Weinstein in anticipation of a November retrial. Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg revealed in court that they are actively pursuing claims of rape within the statute of limitations in Manhattan. Some survivors who were not ready to testify during Weinstein's initial trial have now expressed willingness to come forward.
Blumberg stated that the prosecution is conducting a trauma-informed investigation, emphasizing an ongoing process. Despite not yet presenting their findings to a grand jury, she assured the court that they are proceeding efficiently and plan to go to trial in the fall.
