Harvey Weinstein is awaiting a retrial on rape charges after his 2020 conviction was tossed out
Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said during a court hearing that additional people have come forward with assault claims and prosecutors are currently assessing which fall under the statute of limitations.She said some potential survivors that were not ready to step forward during Weinstein’s first New York trial may now be willing to testify.
The New York Court of Appeals overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction. A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has said they will retry the case. Aidala apologized to the judge but said he didn’t intend to intimidate anyone and that it is the defense’s position that “lies were told at the last trial, and will be told at this one.”
At his 2020 trial, Weinstein was convicted of raping Jessica Mann, an aspiring actor, and of sexually assaulting Haley. But last month those convictions after determining that the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony against him based on allegations from other women that weren’t part of the case. Weinstein, 72, has maintained that any sexual activity was consensual.
