Harvey Weinstein Granted Appeal More Than 2 Years After Sexual Assault and Rape Conviction

Harvey Weinstein has been granted an appeal 2 and a half years after he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault.

On Wednesday, a court spokesperson said Chief Judge Janet DiFore granted the 70-year-old fallen filmmaker the appeal in the New York State of Appeals, according to NBC News, ABC 7 New York and Reuters.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Weinstein insists he is innocent.

"I am so grateful to my attorneys for working hard and smart on this," he says. "Their hard work will help me prove my innocence in the end."
