Harvey Weinstein
Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been moved to a New York prison hospital with multiple ailments including COVID-19 and double pneumonia.
Weinstein's publicist said the 72-year-old had recently tested positive for the virus.
It's reported that he already has diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, and fluid on his heart and lungs.
Weinstein was jailed for 23 years in New York in 2020 for the rape and sexual assault of a former assistant and an actress.
The city's appeals court threw out the conviction in April, finding Weinstein did not get a fair trial.
But the film mogul remains in prison in New York while he awaits a retrial later this year.
He was also sentenced to 16 years in prison in a separate rape trial in California, which he is appealing against.
New York City Correction Department records showed on Thursday that Weinstein was at the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, where he has been multiple times since his conviction.
His team says he is mentally sharp but physically has been breaking down for years.
