Overview

  • A New York jury found Weinstein guilty of sexually assaulting production assistant Miriam Haley but acquitted him of charges by model Kaja Sokola and deadlocked on a rape accusation by Jessica Mann.
  • The retrial followed a 2024 appellate ruling that overturned Weinstein’s 2020 conviction over significant procedural errors.
  • Weinstein remains in custody in New York while serving a separate 16-year sentence in California for unrelated sexual assault convictions.
  • Deliberations over the rape allegation became contentious, prompting the judge to accept a hung jury and end proceedings on that count.
  • The case has remained a focal point of the #MeToo movement and highlights the legal complexities of prosecuting decades-old sexual misconduct claims.
