Opening statements set for Tuesday in Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial
A 12-member jury will decide whether Harvey Weinstein raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2013 after a retrial last year deadlocked.
- Opening statements for Harvey Weinstein's New York rape trial begin on Tuesday, with a jury tasked to decide if the Oscar-winning former movie producer raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2013.
- Weinstein has been behind bars for six years after his initial 2020 New York conviction was overturned; he also faced sexual assault cases in Los Angeles during that span.
- Four days of jury selection concluded on Friday in the case against the former Hollywood powerbroker turned #MeToo pariah, finalizing the panel that will hear rape allegations.
- The trial is expected to take up to four weeks, as Weinstein has pleaded not guilty and continues to deny all allegations while appealing his various convictions.
- At a retrial last year, jurors deadlocked on the rape charge while reaching mixed verdicts on other sexual assault counts, setting up this third trial as a critical moment.
