Disgraced ex-movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on additional sex crimes charges in New York ahead of a retrial in his landmark #MeToo case, Manhattan prosecutors said at a court hearing.

The indictment will remain under seal until Weinstein is arraigned on the new charges, which could happen as early as September 18.
