The Jessica Mann accusations of rape are lost in a judicial maze.
Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial in NYC was declared a mistrial – again.
This was the 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 toimproper 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.
And, believe it or not, now, in his 2026 retrial, a mistrial has been declaredagain.

“Harvey Weinstein ’s rape retrial ended in a mistrial Friday after the jury deadlocked in the closely watched #MeToo-era case that another jury failed to decide last year.
While the former Hollywood mogul has been convicted of other sex crimes on two U.S. coasts and remains behind bars, the mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials.
