NEW YORK—Prosecutors are probing “additional violent sexual assaults” they say former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein committed and intend to seek a new indictment after his previous conviction was overturned, a prosecutor said on Tuesday.

Prosecutor Nicole Blumberg said in a hearing before Justice Curtis Farber in New York state criminal court in Manhattan that the additional assaults Mr. Weinstein allegedly committed were still within the statute of limitations to be charged as crimes.
