Prosecutors say they want Harvey Weinstein's bail increased, claiming he's been mishandling his electric ankle monitor and is a flight risk.

During a pretrial hearing Friday, they accused the disgraced movie mogul of leaving a piece of the monitoring technology at home.

They alleged Weinstein's whereabouts were unrecorded for hours at a time.

Defense lawyers say it was a mistake and blamed technical glitches, like dead batteries, for the issues.

The state will now pay for Weinstein's ankle monitor.

He is currently out on $1 million bail, but prosecutors want it increased to $5 million.

A judge will decide whether Weinstein will face any penalty over the alleged violations next week.

Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual assault charges. 

One of his attorneys says the case is taking a toll on him.

"In terms of his health, you see this is tough," said Donna Rotunno, a defense attorney for Weinstein. "This is tough on anybody going through this and dealing with the scrutiny, not only in the courtroom in the court of public opinion."

Weinstein's court appearance centered around informing him about new statewide bail reforms. They take effect January 1, but the changes are unlikely to impact his case, which is scheduled to go to trial in January.
