Harvey Weinstein

Production assistant Miriam Haley is the first accuser to testify at the disgraced Hollywood mogul's retrial.

Weinstein, who has pleaded not guilty to sex crimes, returns to court after a conviction was overturned.

The disgraced Hollywood producer told the judge he could no longer endure conditions in jail.

The fresh charge relates to the alleged sexual assault of a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2006.

The indictment is currently sealed, but news outlets reported the charges were related to sex-crime allegations.

Prosecutors say there "is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction" after bringing charges in 2022.

Disgraced film producer moved from New York prison cell, where he is serving a 23-year jail term for rape and sexual assault.

The ex-film mogul will be retried for rape after his conviction was overturned on appeal in April.
