Harvey Weinstein Asks <br />to Postpone His Civil Case Weinstein is being sued by actress Wedil David <br />for allegedly sexually assaulting her in 2016, but his legal team has asked the judge for an <br />eight-week extension "due to the current coronavirus <br />crisis" that is sweeping across the globe. According to the court documents <br />obtained by TMZ, Weinstein's lawyer has claimed <br />there are several reasons why the former <br />movie producer can't meet the deadline. Those reasons include his recent <br />conviction in his New York rape case, his forthcoming criminal case in <br />Los Angeles and his declining health. Weinstein was reportedly one of two inmates <br />at Wende Correctional Facility in New York to <br />test positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, but his lawyer said he won't be <br />commenting on the speculation out <br />of respect for his privacy rights. The legal documents went on to suggest that <br />Weinstein is an "at-risk individual" and added the <br />current pandemic has been a "perfect storm for him." According to Weinstein's lawyer, this warrants an <br />extension of a deadline in his civil case to May 15th. The judge has yet to make <br />a decision on the appeal.
