Harvey Weinstein’s Extradition To LA To Face Rape Charges Set For May 30, Maybe - Deadline

Harvey Weinstein could be heading out to Los Angeles within week to face multiple counts of sexual assault.

“I intend to file,’ declared attorney Norman Effman to the Erie County courtroom on camera as Weinstein watched from his current maximum-security digs.

“I will do it as quickly as possible, I won’t do it on the 29th day, but I won’t do it on the second day, “the East Coast lawyer added the clocking already ticking on a strict 30-day timeline to move Weinstein from one side of the country to another and 11 counts of sexual assault in the LA courts.

With a new indictment coming against Weinstein out of LA earlier this month, the once time moguls lawyers have been arguing that the whole more than a yearlong extradition process needs to go back to square one.

Out in the Golden State, Weinstein faces four counts of rape, four counts of forcible oral copulation, one count of sexual penetration by use of force, and two counts of sexual battery by restraint and sexual battery in incidents involving five women from 2004-2013 in LA County.

Held virtually in the Empire State’s United Court System 8th Judicial District, today’s hearing once again saw Weinstein participating from a conference room from Wende Correctional Facility “Good morning, your honor,” the Pulp Fiction EP replied to Erie County Court Judge Case as the hearing began.

Wearing the same burgundy jumpsuit as he did in the last extradition hearing two weeks ago and with an associate of Effman in the room with him, Weinstein did not chat with his lawyers today as he did on April 12.
