California – Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein is on his way to California to face sexual assault charges.

The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision confirmed that the disgraced Hollywood mogul was handed over to Golden State officials early Tuesday morning.

"This morning at approximately 9:25 custody of Mr. Harvey Weinstein was handed over to the appropriate officials for transport to the state of California per a court order," a spokesperson said.

Weinstein has been serving out a 23-year sentence at the Wende Correctional Facility near Buffalo after being convicted of third-degree rape in February 2020.

The one-time Hollywood producer is accused of sexually assaulting five women in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

The 69-year-old's attorneys had attempted to delay the transfer due to Weinstein’s failing health. Weinstein's legal team argued that he needed to continue his medical treatment in New York in order to prevent blindness, but the attempt to further delay extradition was unsuccessful.

Lawyers for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and District Attorney’s Office said in paperwork obtained by the New York Daily News earlier this month that Weinstein won’t suffer any disruptions in his medical care.
