Harvey Weinstein taken to Bellevue Hospital as ‘precautionary measure’

February 24, 2020


Harvey Weinstein was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center as a ‘precautionary measure’ on Monday evening shortly after his rape conviction in Manhattan Criminal Court, his rep said.

The disgraced movie mogul was suffering high blood pressure when he was redirected to the hospital by a medic in the ambulance, the rep, Juda Engelmayer, said.

Weinstein, 67, had been charged in California in January with forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint, stemming from two separate incidents over two days in 2013.

He is expected to cool his heels in a Manhattan jail until his sentencing March 11.

Weinstein’s lawyers have said he will immediately appeal his guilty Manhattan verdict. He faces up to 29 years in prison at his sentencing.
