NY Grand Jury Considers New Evidence in Harvey Weinstein Case: NBC Washington Source

A grand jury in New York is reportedly considering new evidence against disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, according to a source familiar with the matter. The development comes as Weinstein faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and assault from numerous women.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told NBC Washington that the grand jury is reviewing the new evidence as part of an ongoing investigation into Weinstein’s alleged crimes. The nature of the evidence has not been disclosed, but it is said to be significant enough to warrant further consideration by the grand jury.

Weinstein, once a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, has been accused of sexual harassment, assault, and rape by more than 80 women, including many prominent actresses. The allegations against him sparked the #MeToo movement, which has led to a broader cultural reckoning with sexual misconduct and abuse of power.

Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex and has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and sexual assault in New York. He is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York after being convicted in a separate case in 2020.

The new evidence being considered by the grand jury could potentially lead to additional charges against Weinstein, further extending his legal troubles. The outcome of the grand jury’s review remains to be seen, but the news has reignited public interest in the case and the broader issues of sexual misconduct and accountability in the entertainment industry. Stay tuned for updates as the story continues to develop.
