NY judge dismisses one charge against Harvey Weinstein

AFP  |  New York 

A New York on Thursday dismissed one charge against Harvey Weinstein, but left the disgraced Hollywood titan facing five other charges in connection with alleged sexual assault.

The 66-year-old father of five, out on a USD 1 million bail and forced to wear a monitor, attended the latest court hearing and denies any non-consensual sexual relations.

"This is obviously a very positive development," Weinstein's defence lawyer, Ben Brafman, told reporters outside the court.
