Harvey Weinstein may have coronavirus: report

Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus, just days after he started his 23-year state prison sentence.

The monstrous movie mogul, who turned 68 on Thursday, is one of two inmates infected by New York COVID-19 at Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, just outside of Buffalo, according to the Niagara  Gazette.

A jury convicted Weinstein last month of committing a criminal sexual act and third-degree rape for sexually assaulting his former production assistant Miriam Haley and raping actress Jessica Mann. New York News Weinstein was sent to Rikers Island right after his sentencing, then went to Bellevue Hospital with chest pains. After returning to Rikers, he was transferred from the jail’s North Infirmary Command to Wende on Wednesday.

A spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision couldn’t confirm Sunday whether Weinstein has been sickened with the fast-spreading infection.

“The Department cannot comment on an individual’s medical record. However, we can confirm that two of the Department’s approximately 43,000 incarcerated individuals, both at Wende Correctional Facility, have confirmed cases," said DOCCS spokesman Thomas Mailey.
