The indictment will remain under seal until Weinstein’s arraignment, which is scheduled for September 18, they said at a hearing on Thursday.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office disclosed at a recent court hearing that prosecutors had begun presenting to a grand jury evidence of up to three additional allegations against Weinstein, dating as far back as the mid-2000s.
Prosecutors had been seeking to retry Weinstein after his 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges was tossed by an appeals court earlier this year.
It remains to be seen whether the new charges will be included in the retrial, as prosecutors hope, or handled as a separate case by the court.
The 72-year-old co-founder of the film and television production company Miramax has long maintained that any sexual activity was consensual.
