A five-judge panel of the state Supreme Court’s Appellate Division issued the decision after reviewing written submissions from Weinstein’s lawyers and prosecutors.

Harvey Weinstein has lost a long-shot bid to move his sexual assault trial out of New York City as a state court on Thursday rejected the movie mogul’s concerns that he wouldn’t get a fair trial in the world’s media capital.

Weinstein, 67, is due to stand trial in Manhattan in January on charges he raped a woman in a hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006. “It is safe to say that New York City is the least likely place on earth where Mr. Weinstein could receive a fair trial, where jurors could hear evidence, deliberate and render a verdict in an atmosphere free of intimidation from pressure to deliver a result that the politicians, the activists, the celebrities and the media demand,” the lawyers wrote.
