Harvey Weinstein Retrial Begins

Harvey Weinstein Retrial Begins

After years of legal battles and a previous mistrial, Harvey Weinstein is once again facing a jury in a high-stakes sex crimes case.

This retrial focuses on a single accuser, Jessica Mann, who testified about her encounters with the producer after moving to Los Angeles to launch her career.

Weinstein, who remains imprisoned for separate offenses, has consistently denied all accusations of non-consensual sexual contact.

The trial is seen as a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement, testing the durability of its legal impact nearly a decade after the initial allegations against Weinstein first surfaced.
