Harvey Weinstein who was arrested on rape allegations on Friday has been released on 1$ M bail.
As per reports, Weinstein, 66, also agreed to wear a GPS tracker and to surrender his passport after turning himself in to police on Friday.
He pleaded not guilty to charges of first- and third-degree rape and committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree.
More than 70 women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct although the charges relate to only two of them. Some allegations date back decades. Prosecutors said on Friday that Weinstein had been charged with two counts of rape and one count of a criminal sexual act involving two women, who were not identified.
Witnesses said Weinstein appeared pale and stared into space while prosecutors outlined the bail agreement.
The case was adjourned until July 30. Outside the court, Weinstein’s lawyer, Ben Brafman, told reporters his client would enter a not guilty plea. “We intend to move very quickly to dismiss these charges. We believe that they are constitutionally flawed. We believe that they are not factually supported by the evidence.”
Never miss a chance to be amazed by the glitz and the glamour of the Entertainment industry.
