- Harvey Weinstein is sitting under guard in a cinderblock room at a New York City hospital days after his conviction for sexual assault and rape, and at times “can go stir crazy just staring at the emptiness,” according to a spokesman.
His conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which inspired women to accuse hundreds of powerful men of sexual misconduct. He is due to be sentenced on March 11. He described a bare room with a bed, a stainless steel toilet with no seat and large windows. Guards are stationed outside the door.
Engelmayer’s description contrasted with defense lawyer Arthur Aidala’s portrayal of his 67-year-old client after he visited him at the hospital on Tuesday.Weinstein had been en route to New York City’s Rikers Island jail complex when he was diverted to Bellevue. Media reports said he suffered chest pain or heart palpitations.More than 80 women have accused the producer behind hit films including “The English Patient” and “Shakespeare in Love” of sexual misconduct.
Responding to questions about Weinstein, a spokesman for the New York City Department of Correction said only that he was in their custody and that “health care is provided as appropriate.”
