(NEW YORK) — Harvey Weinstein is back at a Manhattan courthouse for a pretrial hearing in his sexual assault case.
Weinstein, who’s free on $1 million bail, shuffled into a federal courtroom on Friday, trailed by his lawyer.
When asked in the hallway outside court how he’s doing, Weinstein merely nodded.
Both the prosecution and defense have asked that the hearing be held behind closed doors. News organizations are fighting the effort.
Weinstein is charged with raping an unidentified female acquaintance in his Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performing a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006.
Prosecutors want to have some of his dozens of other accusers testify in an attempt to show Weinstein has a history of violating women.
Weinstein denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex.
