Weinstein pleads not guilty to sexual assaults in California

Charges against former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein involve five women in incidents spanning from 2004 to 2013.

Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday to four counts of rape and seven other sexual assault counts. Sheriff’s deputies brought the 69-year-old convicted rapist into court in a wheelchair. He was wearing a brown jail jumpsuit and face mask. Attorney Mark Werksman entered the plea for the disgraced movie mogul a day after Weinstein was extradited to California from New York, where he was serving a 23-year prison term.
