Harvey Weinstein, a former American film producer, co-founder of the entertainment company Miramax surrendered himself to authorities to face sex assault charges in connection with attacks on multiple women.

Harvey denies non-consensual sex and his lawyer said he would plead not guilty. He has been released on $1million bail after being charged in New York with rape and sexual abuse. He also agreed to wear a GPS tracker and to surrender his passport after turning himself in to the Police.

"Mr. Weinstein has always maintained that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual behavior with anyone. Nothing about today's proceedings changes Mr. Weinstein's position. He has entered a plea of not guilty and fully expects to be exonerated (.sic)," attorney Benjamin Brafman said in a statement to the media.
