The hearing for Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault cases will continue, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
According to the media house, a New York judge rejected the disgraced producer’s attempt to put an end to the criminal charges he’s facing for allegedly sexually assaulting two women.
Weinstein, who is facing five counts of rape and sexual assault, argued that prosecutorial misconduct required dismissal. His attorney Benjamin Brafman has been building a case on what he calls a “deeply flawed indictment,” saying that charges had been brought upon political pressure. He specifically argued that the Manhattan district attorney failed to turn over exculpatory evidence that includes witnesses and communications that would show consensual relationships with the accusers.
However, the judge privately told attorneys at a hearing on Thursday that the case would continue.
