Harvey Weinstein has been charged with six new counts of sexual assault in California. Prosecutors have delayed extraditing Weinstein to Los Angeles from New York, where he is currently serving a 23-year sentence, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Angela Meng recently described her struggle to write about what happened between her and Weinstein in a Hong Kong hotel room in 2014. “‘You seem like a cool girl, not one of those bimbos walking around here,’ he began… I’ve wondered why I didn’t try harder to leave. The most honest answer I can come up with is that it felt rude for me to do so.”
