Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to a new sexual assault charge on Wednesday, nearly five months after the disgraced Hollywood movie mogul's earlier sex crimes conviction in New York was overturned.

Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty Wednesday, in a New York courtroom, to one new indictment charging him with a first-degree criminal sexual act, as he awaits retrial on another assault case.

The 72-year-old is awaiting a retrial after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned but remans in jail after being found guilty of rape in 2022.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the new indictment of Weinstein is for the sexual assault of a woman in a Manhattan hotel between April 29, 2006 and May 6, 2006.

Disgraced US movie producer Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to a new sex crime charge in New York.

Weinstein has remained in custody since his conviction was overturned, because he was convicted separately last year for the 2013 rape of an actress.
