NEW YORK -- The latest on Harvey Weinstein's New York court appearance (all times local):

9:20 a.m.

Harvey Weinstein has arrived at the New York courthouse where a judge is overseeing an important hearing in his sexual assault case.

Weinstein didn't speak Thursday as he strode past journalists lined up outside the Manhattan courthouse.

Judge James Burke is holding the hearing after a flurry of court papers in which Weinstein's lawyers say the case has been "irreparably tainted" by allegations that a police detective acted improperly in the investigation.

Prosecutors say there's ample evidence to move forward to trial.

Weinstein, who denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex, is putting on his fiercest campaign yet to get the case thrown out.
