Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein is being moved to the North Infirmary Command at Rikers Island after undergoing a heart procedure, where he will remain through his sentencing on March 11.
A rep for the disgraced movie mogul told Fox News on Thursday Weinstein is "is being moved to Rikers as we speak." He added that Weinstein, 67, underwent a heart procedure and "is now fit" to be moved to Rikers.
Weinstein was found guilty of rape and sexual assault against two women before being led away in handcuffs on Feb. 24. While he was remanded to jail after the verdict was read in court, Weinstein was transported to Bellevue Hospital in an ambulance after experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure after the verdict was read. Weinstein's attorneys earlier had objected to their client being sent to Rikers because of his poor health. New York Supreme Court Judge James Burke said he would make a judiciary request for Weinstein to stay in the Rikers infirmary.
Weinstein was found guilty of third-degree rape of Jessica Mann, an aspiring actress, in a New York City hotel room in 2013. He was also found guilty of a criminal sex act for assaulting production Mimi Haleyi at his apartment in 2006. Weinstein's lawyers have said they are already working on an appeal.

Harvey Weinstein
Well, at least he has memories of better times to keep him company ;-)
Convicted Rapist and Democrat Icon....
Aw, poor Harvey. I haz a sad.
Just listened to that song yesterday and noticed the line when he talks about someone dying in the crypts.
Rikers? Well-there goes the neighborhood!
Hmm. I wonder who cares where he is. I imagine nobody.
No they wont whack him. He wasnt running a blackmailing syndicate for the Cs
Sure, there may have been some pimping, but that sounds more like a law-suit-in-waiting than a hit job paid for by an abused actress.
I’m not saying there are people who don’t hate the shmuck, just that I don’t think they’re nearly as many nor as powerful as those who flew the jet to Pedo-Island.
He may have something on denizens of showbiz but I doubt that that's enough.
Don’t drop the soap Harvey.

Rikers is a jail, not a prison. He’s there only until sentencing, then he’s heading for someplace upstate.
Hanging from the sheets in 3... 2... 1... EPSTEINED!
