According to Juda Engelmayer, the spokesperson for disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, he has recently tested positive for COVID and has also developed double pneumonia in his lungs. This news comes as a shock to many, as Weinstein has been facing numerous health issues on a daily basis, including diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, and fluid on his heart and lungs.
To ensure proper treatment, Craig Rothfeld, Weinstein's authorized representative and prison consultant, has confirmed that he has been transferred back to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward. This move was necessary to address the various health conditions that he continues to struggle with. In addition to his recent COVID diagnosis, Weinstein is also battling double pneumonia in his lungs.
CNN has also received confirmation from Engelmayer that Weinstein was moved to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward late on Wednesday night. This development comes after the New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein's sex crimes conviction in April. Despite this, he has remained in custody in New York.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has announced plans to retry the case, which initially led to Weinstein's conviction in 2020 for first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison for these charges. In 2022, he was found guilty of three of seven charges of rape and sexual assault in Los Angeles and received a sentence of 16 years in prison.
Throughout this legal battle, Weinstein has maintained his innocence and vehemently denied any nonconsensual sexual activity. Despite these claims, he continues to face consequences for his actions. As he receives treatment for his health conditions, the public eagerly awaits the outcome of his retrial and the ultimate resolution of this ongoing and highly publicized case.
