Harvey Weinstein to face more rape charges in LA

Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was extradited from New York to Los Angeles on Tuesday to face trial on rape and sexual assault charges.

Gloria Tso reports.

Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was extradited from New York to Los Angeles on Tuesday to face his second trial for rape and sexual assault charges.

He is wanted for trial in Los Angeles on 11 charges ranging from 2004 to 2013, including forcible rape and sexual battery by restraint.

Weinstein was first convicted of rape and sexual assault in New York last February and sentenced to 23 years in jail.

He was one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood before over 80 women came forward with sexual misconduct allegations against him in 2017.

Those allegations ultimately led to criminal charges and fueled the wider #MeToo movement.

Los Angeles police said Tuesday Weinstein had arrived and would be medically cleared before being booked into custody.

He had been fighting extradition on medical grounds, citing diabetes and cardiac, back and eyesight problems. Weinstein's spokesman said Tuesday, quote, "We will be fighting so that Harvey can receive his needed medical care and of course, so that he can be treated fairly." No date was given for his first appearance in court.

If convicted, Weinstein could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond in New York Fraud Case [Video]

Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond in New York Fraud Case

Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond , in New York Fraud Case. According to a New York court filing on March 18, Trump isn't able to secure a $454 million bond as he appeals a civil business fraud judgement against him, CNBC reports. . Trump's attorneys said that getting the bond is "impossible" since it would "effectively" require "cash reserves approaching $1 billion.". Defendants’ ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is ‘a practical impossibility.’, Donald Trump's lawyers, via CNBC. Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, was hired to help Trump obtain a bond. Despite scouring the market, we have been unsuccessful in our effort ... for the simple reason that obtaining an appeal bond for $464 million is a practical impossibility under the circumstances presented, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. Simply put, a bond of this size is rarely, if ever, seen, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. In the unusual circumstance that a bond of this size is issued, it is provided to the largest public companies in the world, not to individuals or privately held businesses, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. Giulietti went on to say that a private company would need about $1 billion to put up as collateral to receive a bond of that size. . While it is my understanding that the Trump Organization is in a strong liquidity position, it does not have $1 billion in cash or cash equivalents, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. Meanwhile, Trump secured a $91.6 million bond earlier this month as part of a separate case brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. .
