Weinstein turned himself into the New York City Police Department and appeared in court on charges of first- and third-degree rape and committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree.
The charges involved two separate women in 2013 and 2004, the Manhattan district attorney said in a statement. If convicted, Weinstein could face up to 25 years in prison.
During his arraignment hearing, the judge set a $1 million bond. Weinstein will have to wear a GPS monitoring system and is restricted to travel in New York and Connecticut.
The disgraced mogul's attorney attorney Benjamin Brafman said in a statement, "Mr. Weinstein has always maintained that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual behavior with anyone. Nothing about today's proceedings changes Mr. Weinstein's position. He has entered a plea of not guilty and fully expects to be exonerated."
This may not be the last of Weinstein's legal troubles; investigations are also underway by police in Los Angeles and London.
Some of his accusers responded with surprise and relief at Weinstein's arrest:
We got you, Harvey Weinstein, we got you
