Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on two sets of rape charges and a sex crime charge, meaning he has been formally charged by a grand jury.
Newser reports the charges against disgraced Hollywood mogul and sex offender Harvey Weinstein continue to pile up. Los Angeles Country prosecutors say Weinstein was charged Friday with the rape of two more women. The district attorney's office says the charges include three counts of rape and three counts of forcible oral copulation involving the two women. Tallied up, Weinstein is now charged with 11 felony counts in Los Angeles County, involving five women. The 68-year-old is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York on convictions for rape and sexual assault against two women.
The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has nabbed fashion tycoon Peter Nygard. Nygard, 79, is accused of decades of criminal conduct, involving at least dozens of victims in the US, the Bahamas, and Canada. Prosecutors say he recruited and maintained 'adult and minor-aged female victims' for the sexual gratification of him and his friends over a 25-year period. Newser reports Nygard has been indicted on crimes including racketeering and sex trafficking. Accused of sexual misconduct by at least 50 women, Nygard's New York office was raided in February by a joint FBI-NYPD child-exploitation task force.
CNN reports that Harvey Weinstein has a fever and is being monitored by medical staff in prison.

He is currently serving 23 years in prison. His attorneys have tried to get his sentence reduced due to his pour health.
