Only yesterday it became known that the grand jury in New York had brought to the scandalous producer Harvey Weinstein the charges of rape, and today the exact date of the court hearing has been announced.

The court of New York will begin to consider the criminal case of the famous American film producer Harvey Weinstein on Tuesday, June 5. Initially, the hearing was scheduled for July 30, but now this date is canceled, reports StraitsTimes.

As specified in the message, in the future hearing, Weinstein will demand to recognize him innocent.

Recall, the sex scandal around Weinstein began to flare up in the autumn of last year. Then the cause was a scandalous publication in The New York Times about the numerous sexual harassments that he allegedly committed over the years. In the list of victims of the producer appear the actresses Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Ashley Judd, Rose McGaven and others.
