Harvey Weinstein is finally being transferred to New York City's Rikers Island jail complex more than a week after he was convicted of sexual assault and rape, his spokesman told media outlets Thursday.
Weinstein was taken to Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital shortly after the verdict on February 24, due to high blood pressure and heart palpitations.
But he underwent a surprise heart procedure to remove a blockage in recent days and has been deemed fit for a transfer to the jail, according to Variety.
Weinstein will be housed at the North Infirmary Command facility on Rikers Island at least until his sentencing on March 11.

A jury found Weinstein guilty of one count of criminal sexual act against the former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006, and one count of third-degree rape against the hairstylist Jessica Mann in 2013.
He faces a maximum prison sentence of 29 years for the combined charges.
His defense attorney, Donna Rotunno, told Insider last month that they will appeal his verdict and seek to have him released on bail in the meantime.
Rotunno told Insider that Weinstein has been battling numerous health issues throughout the trial, and had undergone back surgery that required him to use a walker.
Rotunno also told the judge after the verdict was read that Weinstein requires injections in his eyes to keep him from going blind.
The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the PERAVES CZ company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...
Many who used to visit here regularly also would visit Kat's forum. Now she has opted to say goodbye. Why? Disqus isn't what it used to be, and traffic has crawled to almost a stop. https://countrykatnc.blogspot.com/2026/05/its-finally-friday-and-final-thread.html I have been taking the last couple of months to contemplate what I want to do with this forum. I think it's time for me to step away as well. Reasons are multiple. Mainly the loss of old friends, Susan and milo but others as well that, when I check their profiles, have been inactive for months, some for a year or two. Never heard why. Just stopped coming here or anywhere on Disqus. Lack of enthusiasm and participation has been evident as well. That includes my lack of enthusiasm. I am NOT blaming anyone. I can't advertise this forum so newbies are rare. Regulars have either gone away or drop in and leave a comment or two - often, it seems, out of habit. Back n forth conversations don't happen much any mor...
