Harvey Weinstein's third rape trial

Harvey Weinstein is facing a third trial in New York City on a rape charge involving hairstylist and actor Jessica Mann.

The retrial follows the overturning of his first conviction and a subsequent hung jury, with jury selection beginning amid continued #MeToo scrutiny.

Unlike previous proceedings, only one accuser is expected to testify in this trial, which focuses on an alleged 2013 assault in a Manhattan hotel.

Weinstein, who remains imprisoned for other offenses, has denied all allegations of non-consensual sexual contact.

The trial is expected to last several weeks and will be closely watched as a test of the legal system's handling of long-standing misconduct cases.
