Harvey Weinstein’s extradition to Los Angeles has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials say.
, Greg Risling from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
"The virus has delayed the processing of the extradition paperwork,” Risling said. “There is no time estimate on when he will appear in a Los Angeles courtroom." Weinstein is set to face charges of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint. The January charges stem from an alleged rape of one woman and a sexual assault of another in separate incidents in February 2013.from an alleged incident that occurred at the Beverly Hills Hotel in in May 2010. If convicted, Weinstein faces a maximum sentence of 29 years in state prison.
Weinstein is already serving a 23-year sentence from his March 11 conviction in New York City. He has continually denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex and pleaded not guilty in the New York case. In all, more than 80 women have accused the disgraced Oscar-winning producer behind"Pulp Fiction" and"The King's Speech" of sexual assault and harassment going back decades, though the charges were based primarily on allegations from Haley and Mann, who each testified during the trial.Doha Madani
