Weinstein entered his plea in a Los Angeles courtroom following his extradition from New York.<\/p>\n<p>The 69-year-old is already serving a 23-year prison term in New York after being convicted of rape and sexual assault last February when over 80 women came forward with sexual assault allegations against him in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In his second trial, prosecutors alleged he sexually assaulted five women in the Los Angeles area from 2004 to 2013. Following the not guilty plea, Weinstein\u2019s attorney, Mark Werksman, addressed his clients\u2019 several health issues that he argued would require medical attention in order to stand for trial.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2465076\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2465076\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2465076\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/har.jpg\" alt=\"NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 09: Harvey Weinstein appears at his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on July 9, 2018 in New York City.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents two of the victims from the case, took issue with Werkman\u2019s comments about the allegations being baseless because they occurred years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllegations of sexual assault and rape do take a long time to report, so the idea that they may not have disclosed to a law enforcement officer for many years does not mean that those are not credible,\u201d said Allred.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Weinstein is being held without bond. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison. His next court hearing is set for July 29.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/democrats-under-fire-for-blatantly-ignoring-humans-rights-violations\/\">Democrats Under Fire For Blatantly Ignoring Humans Rights Violations<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvey Weinstein leaves the courtroom in NYC criminal court on January 6, 2020 in NYC.
