Jurors have been deliberating for the last two days.
We have been following here on TGP the retrial in New York of former Hollywood power player – and alleged serial rapist – Harvey Weinstein.
Again? Yes. Weinstein was convicted in California in 2022 for three sex crimes, committed in 2013, against an unidentified Italian model and actress: Forcible rape, Forcible oral copulation, and Sexual penetration by a foreign object. For the crimes in this California trial, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Weinstein faces a THIRD New York trial on the rape charge involving hairstylist and actress Jessica Mann.
His original 2020 conviction was overturned by New York’s highest court in 2024 due to improper admission of testimony from uncharged accusers, which would have prejudiced the jury.
So, Weinstein had a 2025 retrial, in which prosecutors charged him with crimes against three women: the jury convicted him of one criminal sexual act count (involving Mimi Haley), acquitted him on another (involving Kaja Sokola), but was deadlocked on the Jessica Mann rape charge — leading to a mistrial.
Prosecutors chose to retry the unresolved Mann count alone, in a high-profile trial that started in mid-April.
Yesterday, the arguments of the prosecution and the defense wrapped up, and the jury was sent to deliberate.
