Harvey Weinstein's fourth rape trial begins
Weinstein, who appeared in court in a wheelchair due to declining health, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The defense is expected to argue that text messages between Weinstein and Mann show a consensual, long-term relationship rather than a predatory one.
This retrial follows a series of legal setbacks for the former producer, whose previous convictions have faced intense scrutiny.
The proceedings are being closely watched as a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement's legal legacy.
