Harvey W spent time in jail..

Harvey Weinstein's legal situation is complex and has changed over time. Here's a breakdown of his current status regarding incarceration:

• New York Retrial and Custody:
  • Weinstein's 2020 New York conviction for rape and sexual assault was overturned by the state's top court in April 2024, which ruled that the judge in the original trial erred by allowing "irrelevant" testimony from women whose allegations were not part of the case.
  • A retrial was ordered and began in April 2025.
  • During the retrial, Weinstein was initially held at Rikers Island jail, a New York City detention facility. He has repeatedly complained about the conditions there, calling it a "hellhole".
  • In a legal victory for Weinstein, a judge granted his request to be moved from Rikers Island to Bellevue Hospital for the duration of the retrial due to health concerns.
