BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A lawyer for convicted movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is challenging Weinstein’s extradition to California to face an indictment alleging he sexually assaulted five women. At a hearing Monday, Weinstein’s lawyer cited a paperwork technicality after his requests for a “humanitarian” delay for Weinstein’s medical needs were rejected. The 69-year-old Weinstein appeared via video from prison before an Erie County Court judge in Buffalo. Los Angeles prosecutors allege Weinstein assaulted five women from 2004 to 2013. A newly revealed indictment contains the same allegations Weinstein was previously charged with, according to a person with direct knowledge who spoke on condition of anonymity because the indictment is sealed.
