The former film producer Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual assault.
Mr Weinstein who was ordered to appear Manhattan Supreme Court, has issued a plea in the first set of cases brought against him.
The 66 yaar old former producer is facing a number of charges after 70 women accused him of sexual misconduct.
Although Mr Weinstein surrendered himself to a New York police station on 25 May, it is believed he could fave further charges as police authorities in Los Angeles and in the UK have launched separate investigations after a number of accusations were made against Mr Weinstein.
