The two July counts of predatory sexual assault and one count of a criminal sexual act stemmed from an alleged attack on a third woman in 2006. Weinstein's lawyer suggested before Monday's hearing that the Hollywood executive would plead not guilty, seeing as Weinstein has maintained his innocence since he first faced a landslide of allegations last October. He was released on continued bail after the pleas, per ABC News. Weinstein still faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for the predatory sexual assault count.
