He is also facing similar new charges in L.A. in the weeks to come.
Big cheers to the D.A. and the two brave women who accused him.  |
Harvey Weinstein rerouted to hospital on way to Rikers Island jail in New York City
Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein was rerouted to a New York City hospital Monday night as authorities transported him to the jail on Rikers Island.
Weinstein's attorney Donna Rotunno said Monday night that Weinstein was at Bellevue Hospital under observation for high blood pressure and heart palpitations. It wasn't clear whether he would stay overnight or go on to the infirmary at Rikers Island on Monday night. The city Department of Corrections had no comment other than to say Weinstein was remanded and transferred into custody.
WOW a rush to the hospital because of high blood pressure and heart palpitations? That bastard must have some GREAT insurance coverage!
