Harvey Weinstein’s criminal trial began today in Manhattan Criminal Court, where he faces life in prison for five counts of predatory sex acts: one count of first-degree rape, two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of first-degree sexual assault and one count of third-degree rape. That’s not his only concern: concurrently, The Los Angeles Times reports that Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey has scheduled a press conference for 2 p.m. EST. An anonymous source told The L.A. Times new sex crime charges will be revealed, stemming from a 2017 investigation concerning eight allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
