Jurors set to hear opening statements in Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial in New York
A new jury will weigh rape and sexual-assault charges after appeals judges threw out his 2020 conviction over trial errors.
- On Tuesday, former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein returns to court as his New York rape retrial opens, marking the third attempt to resolve a 2013 Manhattan hotel encounter allegation.
- A New York appeals court overturned Weinstein's 2020 conviction in 2024, citing "egregious errors" in how the trial judge allowed testimony from complainants unconnected to the specific charges he faced.
- Accuser Jessica Mann testified previously that Weinstein trapped her in a hotel room in 2013, ignoring her protests as he "demanded she undress and grabbed her arms."
- Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Candace White introduced new evidence alleging Weinstein remarked to an officer in 2020: "If you had seen these girls, you would have done the exact same thing."
- Now a 73-year-old prison inmate, Weinstein faces up to four years in prison if convicted on this lower-level felony rape charge, with proceedings expected to last four weeks.
