Weinstein Convicted Again in New York Retrial

Harvey Weinstein, the former Hollywood producer, was convicted in Manhattan for a second time of a felony sex crime for sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. The jury acquitted him on a charge related to model Kaja Sokola and has not yet reached a verdict on a third charge involving actress Jessica Mann, with deliberations ongoing. This retrial followed the overturning of Weinstein's 2020 conviction due to procedural errors, while he remains incarcerated due to a separate California sentence. Weinstein appeared in court in a wheelchair and maintained his innocence. He faces up to 25 additional years in prison as a result of this conviction. The verdict is seen as a significant moment for survivors of sexual assault and reinforces the impact of the #MeToo movement.
