AP: Judge OKs Weinstein’s extradition for California rape case
A New York judge on Tuesday approved disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s extradition to California, where he faces additional sexual assault charges, ending a legal fight prolonged by the COVID-19 pandemic, the defense’s concerns about Weinstein’s failing health and a squabble over paperwork.
Weinstein is facing 11 sexual assault counts in California including rape and sexual battery by restraint. The charges involve 5 different women.
