A New York appeals court has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, ordering a new trial in a stunning reversal of a landmark #MeToo case.
In a 4-3 decision, the appeals court found that the trial judge who presided over Weinstein’s case allowed prosecutors to call women who said Weinstein had assaulted them. However, those accusations were not part of the charges against him.
The disgraced movie mogul was sentenced to 23 years in prison after being convicted in February 2020 of forcing oral sex on TV and film production assistant Mimi Haley in 2006 and third-degree rape of hairstylist Jessica Mann in 2013.
