Harvey Weinstein, in court Tuesday, heard he may face at least one new Manhattan sex accuser.
The defense cited his failing health in pushing back against delaying a retrial until November.
The DA is trolling for new accusers through a '1-800-GET-HARVEY' hotline, one lawyer angrily joked.

At least one woman has come forward with new, "violent sexual assault" accusations against Harvey Weinstein, prosecutors said as both sides gathered in court Tuesday to discuss next steps for his Manhattan retrial.
