Quote:Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was charged with rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving two separate women after turning himself in to the New York City Police Department on Friday.
A frail-looking Weinstein appeared before Judge Kevin McGrath with his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman at his side when the terms of his bail were discussed.
Prosecutors asked for Weinstein to surrender his passport, agree to a GPS monitoring device and to post either $1 million cash or $10 million bond alternative. He is also not allowed to travel outside of New York and Connecticut. Weinstein will also have to decide by May 30 if he will testify or not.
Weinstein smiled as he walked out of the NYPD’s 1st Precinct in handcuffs early Friday and was escorted by two officials to the courthouse.

The former Hollywood powerhouse is facing more than 37 years in jail. The criminal sex act in the first degree charge carries up to 25 years in jail; the first degree sexual abuse charge carries up to seven years in jail; the third degree criminal sexual act charge carries up to four years in jail and the sexual misconduct and third degree sexual abuse charges carry up to one year and three months respectively.
Weinstein will be required to undergo HIV testing, by law, should his victims request it.
The NYPD detailed Weinstein's pending charges in a statement released to Fox News.
"The NYPD thanks these brave survivors for their courage to come forward and seek justice. The arrest and ensuing charges are the result of a joint investigation between the NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office," the statement said. "Additional information will be provided as it becomes available."
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that the criminal sex act charges stem from a 2004 encounter between Weinstein and an aspiring actress. She has said he forced her to perform oral sex.
The official says the rape charge relates to a woman who has not spoken publicly. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity. The prosecution said in court on Friday that both parties have agreed to keep the anonymous victim's name sealed under an order of protection and to keep her name from the public.
