NEWSAR · AI

Harvey Weinstein's third New York rape trial concluded in a mistrial on Friday. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the charge that Weinstein raped aspiring actress Jessica Mann in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013. Weinstein, a former top film producer, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and denies any non-consensual sexual activity. This mistrial follows a previous conviction in 2020 that was later overturned, and a separate trial in June 2025 where he was convicted of sexually abusing former production assistant Miriam Haley but acquitted of assaulting Kaja Sokola. Weinstein is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence for a rape conviction in California.

Harvey Weinstein’s third trial in New York over allegations he used his Hollywood clout to prey upon and sexually abuse women ended ‌in a mistrial on Friday, after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on a charge he raped the aspiring actress Jessica Mann.Weinstein, 74, was a top film producer until sexual misconduct allegations led to his downfall and fuelled a wider social movement that encouraged women to come forward with accounts of sexual abuse by ⁠powerful men.The case, brought by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, centred on allegations that Weinstein ‌raped Mann in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 while Mann resisted and repeatedly said “No”.Weinstein had pleaded not guilty to one count of third-degree ‌rape and has denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex.His lawyers have ⁠argued that Mann ⁠fabricated the rape allegation after regretting that her consensual romance with Weinstein failed to advance her film career.Former actress Jessica Mann appears in Manhattan criminal court to testify against Harvey Weinstein in April. Photo: AFPAt his ‌first trial in New York in 2020, Weinstein was convicted of raping Mann and assaulting one-time production assistant Miriam Haley ‌in 2006. ‌But the state’s highest court overturned the conviction and Weinstein’s 23-year prison sentence after concluding ‌he did not get a fair trial.A Manhattan jury then convicted Weinstein of sexually abusing ⁠Haley at a trial in June 2025, but found him not guilty of assaulting former ⁠model Kaja Sokola.The jury was deadlocked on the third-degree rape charge accusing Weinstein of assaulting Mann, leading Justice Curtis Farber to declare a mistrial on that count. ‌The retrial began in ‌April.Weinstein was also convicted of rape in California in 2022 and is serving a 16-year prison sentence. He is appealing against that conviction and sentence.The Miramax studio co-founder will face up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced for abusing Haley.Further Reading
