En route to Rikers, however, Weinstein began experiencing anxiety and heart palpitations, Weinstein representative Juda Englemayer told HuffPost. Weinstein won’t have to fully experience Rikers, which is known for its violence and troubling record on human rights. Finally, Weinstein still has criminal charges in Los Angeles to contend with. Prosecutors in Los Angeles charged Weinstein with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another woman over two days in 2013. Weinstein’s representative could not comment on the Los Angeles case, noting only that Weinstein was discussing it with his defense team.
