Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul whose sexual misconduct helped fuel the #MeToo movement, will face retrial in New York on rape charges in April.

Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein told a judge he "won't be there" for his upcoming retrial if he remains at Rikers Island.

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein begged a judge on Wednesday to move up his April 15th trial date on sex crimes charges, invoking conditions at the infamous Rikers Island facility where he’s currently being held.

However, the judge did not react to his pleas, saying jury selection for an April 15 trial is “beyond set in stone.”

Harvey Weinstein is scheduled to return to court today, where the judge is set to decide when his retrial will start.

Weinstein was arraigned in September on the count of a criminal sexual act in the first degree, which stemmed from a recent indictment returned by a grand jury. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, which carries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

Weinstein is being held at the notorious Rikers Island jail complex, where a drawn-out federal receivership process has failed to effectively curb excessive violence and misconduct.

In vacating Weinstein’s conviction, the Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge, James M. Burke, unfairly allowed testimony against him based on allegations from other women that were not part of the case. Burke is no longer on the bench.
