Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein tests positive for COVID-19 in prison (REPORT)

He's serving a 23-year sentence

68-year-old former film mogul Harvey Weinstein is reportedly in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 while in a New York State prison.

The Niagara Gazette cites anonymous "officials connected to the state prison system" who tell them Weinstein is one of two inmates in New York's Wende Correctional Facility who have tested positive for the virus.

It is believed that he contracted it before entering the prison system last Wednesday.

Weinstein is serving a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault in a landmark #MeToo case.
