() – A Manhattan grand jury has indicted Harvey Weinstein on new charges, prosecutors confirmed at a hearing Thursday.
“The grand jury has indicted Mr. Weinstein,” prosecutor Nicole Blumberg told the court.
However, the indictment detailing the charges will remain sealed until Weinstein is charged.
It could include allegations of sexual assault from three women, prosecutors said at a hearing last week.
The disgraced movie mogul was not present at the hearing. He had medical clearance not to attend after undergoing a heart procedure earlier this week.
Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office began presenting a case to a grand jury in mid-August, previously reported.
Prosecutors vaguely described the allegations made by the three accusers at that hearing, but declined to identify the women by name at the time.
One of the alleged assaults occurred in a residential building in lower Manhattan in the winter months between 2005 and 2006, and another of the women was allegedly sexually assaulted at a Tribeca hotel in May 2016.
