Weinstein is being arraigned on multiple rape charges stemming from incidents from 2004-2013 involving five women.
Harvey Weinstein and his legal team successfully dismissed one of the 11 sexual assault charges against the former producer on Thursday, a judge ruled.
The dismissal of the charge marks a small victory for the suspect and his team; however, prosecutors can still amend the charge and bring an updated version to court. Weinstein was convicted of sexual assault in New York last year.
