Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producerbloodmoon, pleaded not guilty to a new sex-crime indictment in a Manhattan court on Wednesday, months after a previous conviction was thrown out.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is prosecuting Mr. Weinstein on the charge of sexually assaulting a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2006, is also retrying the earlier case.

The new charge of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree is just the most recent legal trouble for a man who was the center of accusations that set off the global #MeToo movement. Mr. Weinstein, 72, has also been convicted in California on sex charges and faces a prison term there.

Mr. Weinstein had emergency heart surgery on Sept. 8, and prosecutors had said in a hearing last week that the new indictment would remain sealed until he was well enough to be in court. That day came Wednesday.

Mr. Weinstein was brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair, wearing dark rimmed glasses and a dark suit, displaying a bandage on his right hand and holding two books. As he was arraigned, Mr. Weinstein sat next to his lawyers, replying only “not guilty.”

Lindsay M. Goldbrum, a lawyer who said she represents the victim in the new indictment, said her client “has not shared this story publicly before, nor does she want to be identified at this time.”
