New York prosecutors have revealed new evidence against Harvey Weinstein as he faces a retrial for multiple charges sexual assault.

Prosecutors delivered a supplementary evidence disclosure to Weinstein's attorneys, outlining new materials and their delayed delivery.

This evidence, Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo revealed, included corrections department records, recent correspondence with witnesses and their attorneys, public court documents, social media posts, and body camera footage involving witnesses, according to court documents.

Weinstein's original New York convictions for third-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act in 2020 were overturned in April by the state Court of Appeals due to what the court called "highly prejudicial" testimony from witnesses with allegations unrelated to the charges.

However, in September, Weinstein was indicted again on a new charge of first-degree sexual assault related to an alleged 2006 incident in a New York City hotel.

Judge Curtis Farber ruled in September that prosecutors could combine Weinstein's older and newer cases into a single trial, granting a legal win to the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Weinstein has maintained his innocence, asserting that the sexual encounters in question were consensual. His attorneys have argued that many allegations, which emerged amid the #MeToo movement, have been unfairly lumped together to prejudice the jury.

Although his initial New York conviction was overturned, Weinstein remains in prison following a 16-year sentence for his 2022 Los Angeles conviction for rape, which his legal team is also appealing.

In recent months, Weinstein has faced several health challenges, including heart surgery, a COVID-19 infection, and pneumonia.

Weinstein's next court date will be January 29th, according to email from Manhattan District Attorney's Office sent to Lawyer Herald.
