'MeToo' Weinstein With Covid-19 In Prison

Harvey Weinstein who is 72 now is in the hospital after being diagnosed with double pneumonia and testing positive for COVID-19.

His representatives confirmed that he was moved to Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan where he is being treated for various health issues including diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis and fluid around his heart and lungs. 

Weinstein is awaiting a retrial in Manhattan on sex crime charges following the overturning of his previous conviction in April with the retrial set for November.

Prosecutors claim that he assaulted more women than initially prosecuted which he denies. 

Additionally Weinstein is appealing a separate 16 year sentence in Los Angeles for another rape conviction arguing the trial was unfair. His health issues complicate his ongoing legal proceedings.
