The extradition of Harvey Weinstein to face sexual assault and rape charges in Los Angeles has been approved by a Buffalo, N.Y., judge on Tuesday, rejecting the producer`s last-ditch efforts to stall the transfer.
According to Variety, Weinstein is likely to be moved from Upstate New York to Los Angeles sometime in July, prosecutors said on Tuesday. Weinstein`s attorney, Norman Effman, said that he would appeal the decision. He asked for a stay that would block the order from taking effect pending the appeal, but that too was denied.
