Harvey Weinstein to be extradited to California for sexual assault charges

Judge said there was no reason to delay transfer any longer and denied lawyer's request to keep him at a state prison in New York

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein will be extradited to California after a New York judge's approval, where he faces additional sexual assault charges.

The extradition order ends a legal fight, prolonged by the pandemic, the defense's concerns about Weinstein's failing health, and a squabble over paperwork.
