Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein appeared in a Manhattan court this week, asking for his trial to be moved up from April 15, 2025, due to serious health problems, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Weinstein was arraigned in September on the count of a criminal sexual act in the first degree, which stemmed from a recent indictment returned by a grand jury. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, which carries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

Harvey Weinstein’s New York trial date has been set for April 15, but the disgraced movie mogul pleaded for an earlier start due to his recent cancer diagnosis and poor health conditions. Weinstein addressed Judge Curtis J.
