New York’s highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction and ordered a new trial. The Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the judge at disgraced movie mogul’s the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced him with improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case. The 72-year-old Weinstein has been serving a 23-year sentence in New York. He’ll remain imprisoned because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Harvey Weinstein's New York sexual assault conviction has been thrown out by an appeals court, but it's just one of many cases the disgraced movie mogul has faced. Others include a Los Angeles criminal trial that led to a conviction for rape and sexual assault. The 16-year prison sentence in that case means Weinstein won't go free because of the New York reversal. The Italian model and actor whose testimony led to his conviction in Los Angeles also has sued him in civil court. So has actor Julia Ormond, who says he committed sexual battery and then sabotaged her career. Weinstein has denied all the allegations.
