Harvey Weinstein rape retrial opens

A new jury will get its first look at the allegations against Weinstein, who has faced numerous sexual misconduct charges on both U.S. coasts.

The retrial follows the overturning of his previous conviction, a decision that sparked widespread debate about the #MeToo movement's legal legacy.

Prosecutors are expected to present testimony from several women who allege they were assaulted by Weinstein in hotel rooms.

The defense has maintained that the encounters were consensual and that the charges are based on unreliable testimony.
