Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial

Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial

Harvey Weinstein returns to a Manhattan courtroom as a new jury prepares to hear evidence in his high-profile sex crimes case.

The retrial comes after the New York Court of Appeals ruled that the original trial judge improperly allowed testimony from women whose allegations were not part of the formal charges.

Prosecutors are expected to call several witnesses to testify about Weinstein's alleged pattern of predatory behavior.

The outcome of this trial remains a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement and the pursuit of accountability in Hollywood.
