US EditionHarvey Weinstein to be tried for a third time in New York after mistrial on rape charge
The retrial follows a June mistrial after a deadlocked jury on a rape charge; Weinstein faces sentencing for a related conviction on Sept. 30, court officials said.
- Following a mistrial, Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, faces a third trial this year in the sexual assault case of Jessica Mann, scheduled before year's end, according to Judge Curtis Farber.
- Amid his appeal, New York's highest court overturned Weinstein's 2020 conviction, leading to a mistrial after a jury deadlocked in June.
- Throughout the retrial, Weinstein's lawyers insisted `the sexual encounters with his three accusers were "transactional" and "consensual"`, despite the jury's verdict on Miriam Haley and Kaja Sokola.
- Weinstein's legal team is appealing the California conviction, where he is serving a 16-year prison sentence from his December 2022 conviction.
- Advocates say the retrial will test how far #MeToo reforms have taken hold, as allegations against Weinstein in 2017 propelled the #MeToo movement and the landmark sentencing.
