An unkempt Harvey Weinstein arrived to Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday looking ashen and scruffy.

The 65-year-old predator, who has been accused of assault by over 20 women, was arraigned on charges of rape in the first degree, rape in the third degree and criminal sexual act, just six days after a grand jury voted on the case.

Weinstein, who opted not to testify in front of the grand jury, entered a plea of not guilty to all three counts.

He wore a suit jacket and tie for the occassion, which he strangely paired with jeans that looked to be close to a foot too long - perhaps to cover his ankle monitor.

The mogul did not shave for his appearance and had a bit of a limp as he walked into the courthouse, which again could be the result of his new ankle monitor.

Sweet revenge: Brafman said in court on Tuesday that the two encounters which make up the indictment were consensual, not denying the fact that Weinstein engaged in sexual relations with the two accusers

Brafman said in court on Tuesday that he 'intends to vigorously fight these charges.'

He also addressed a potential conflict of interest that had arisen after a former associate lawyer at his firm allegedly tried to obtain key evidence from a Weinstein accuser.

The defense attorney told the judge that he had never met with alleged victim, Melissa Thompson, and only became aware of her a few days ago. He also said he had no knowledge that she has been in contact with one of his former employees, Alex Spiro.

According to a federal lawsuit filed last week, Thompson claims Spiro used 'deceptive tactics' to get a hold of her evidence against Weinstein, including visual and audio material. This happened before Thompson realized that Spiro worked for the firm representing Weinstein, according to the suit.

Brafman said that Spiro had never worked on the Weinstein case and had since left for another firm.

'I assured Joan Illuzzi I would never attempt to discourage anyone from cooperating with the DA's office,' he said.

Illuzzi said that her office accepted Brafman's explanations and should there be a potential conflict of interest in that Ms Thompson became a witness in the case, then Brafman would not be able to cross-examine her on the matter of the emails.

No changes were made to Weinstein's bail but the judge reinforced that the fired executive must attend every court appearance.

Weinstein spoke at that point, declaring 'yes' he understood the judge.

Brafman also took some time to berate law enforcement officers in court, saying that he believed they were the source of a number of leaks about the case to the media.

'I agree with Mr Vance when he said that it should be tried in the court room and not in the press,' Brafman told the court.

Also making an appearance in court on Tuesday was Gloria Allred, who is representing multiple women in civil cases against Weinstein.

It was her daughter Lisa Bloom who was first hired by Weinstein to fight the allegations prior to the stories about his alleged misconduct.

That move drove a wedge between mother and daughter that was only recently mended.

Brafman said in court on Tuesday that the two encounters which make up the indictment were consensual, not denying the fact that Weinstein engaged in sexual relations with the two accusers.

Inglorious basterd: There was also a brief conference about claims made by a new accuser, Melissa Thompson, who has claimed that an associate of Brafman's tricked her into handing over evidence of Wesintein's alleged assault

einstein was indicted by a grand jury last Wednesday after Brafman released a statement stating that his client would not be testifying and complaining that he had been 'unfairly denied access to critical information about this case that was needed to defend him before the Grand Jury.'

Brafman cited the fact that he and Weinstein did not know who the accusers were in this case as part of the issue, saying they only learned who the charges were linked to on Friday after Weinstein's arrest.

This despite the fact that both women shared their stories with The New Yorker.

Brafman told reporters last Tuesday after a court meeting that the woman who alleges she was raped by Weinstein multiple times during a 2013 incident in a midtown hotel was having a decade-long affair with the producer.

'This is an extraordinary case in my judgement where the only rape victim that Mr. Weinstein is accused of raping is someone with whom he has had a 10-year consensual sexual relationship - both before and after the alleged incident,' stated Brafman.

He also called the woman's allegations 'absurd.'

Brafman also said he had concerns about his client being able to get a fair trial.

'The ability for people to keep an open mind is of concern to me,' remarked Brafman.

'Demanding an indictment or prosecution is inappropriate pressure. It is unprecedented. It troubles me and I want to make those matters known to the court.'

He then noted: 'I'm not certain that there's any remedy but I wanted to make clear I was unhappy with those issues.'

Weinstein was not in court last Tuesday either and is remaining in the New York area after surrendering his passport on May 25.

He handed over a cashier's check to cover the $1 million cash bond on May 25 before leaving the court, with Weinstein heading off to be fitted for his electronic monitoring bracelet.

Shortly after he was released that day, Brafman spoke outside court and offered up an unexpected defense for his client.

'My job is not to defend behavior. My job is to defend something that is criminal behavior,' stated Brafman.

'Mr. Weinstein did not invent the casting couch in Hollywood. To the extent that there's bad behavior in that industry, that is not what this is about. Bad behavior is not on trial in this case.'

The investigation into Weinstein's alleged assaults is ongoing, and a grand jury is still convened and hearing testimony in the case.

One of the women accusing Weinstein, Lucia Evans, claimed that she was forced to perform oral sex on him at the then-Miramax offices in Tribeca.

The second woman worked with Weinstein when she claims he forced himself on her at the DoubleTree Hilton in Manhattan.

Evans confirmed the fact that she was one of the woman who helped bring charges against Weinstein in an interview with The New Yorker on Thursday, saying: 'At a certain point, you have to think about the greater good of humanity, of womankind.'
