Weinstein Retrial Focuses on Unusual Anatomy
Harvey Weinstein is facing a retrial in New York on a single rape charge stemming from an alleged 2013 incident involving Jessica Mann. Jury selection is imminent, though Weinstein is already incarcerated and faces up to 25 years for a separate sexual assault conviction. While Weinstein denies all accusations, asserting he “acted wrongly, but I never assaulted anyone,” the defense will argue that accusers willingly engaged in sexual encounters seeking his Hollywood influence. The outcome of this trial will not affect his current imprisonment, but the proceedings may be influenced by a change in Weinstein’s legal team.
