The judge presiding over the Harvey Weinstein rape trial rebuffed a move by his lawyers that might have delayed the proceedings — and scolded the disgraced film producer for using a cellphone in court Tuesday.

Burke opened the second day of the trial by reprimanding Weinstein for using a cellphone in the courtroom after he had previously been told that was not allowed. The judge threatened to place Weinstein in custody over the infraction.

The judge then told Weinstein:"Is this really the way you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life? By texting and violating a court order?". The former producer faces charges that he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on another woman in 2006. He is being charged in Los Angeles with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents on two consecutive days in February 2013, the district attorney's office there said.in the New York case, has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sexual activity.

In all, more than 80 women have accused him of sexual misconduct going back decades, but the New York criminal trial centers on allegations from two women.
