Overview

• A Manhattan jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, acquitted him on charges by Kaja Sokola, and failed to reach a verdict on Jessica Mann’s rape allegation.
• The retrial was ordered after the New York Court of Appeals vacated his original 2020 conviction because of improper testimony, prompting a six-week rehearing of key charges.
• Sentencing in the New York case has not been scheduled and could extend Weinstein’s punishment beyond his existing 16-year California term for separate assault convictions.
• Reports of juror disagreements emerged during deliberations and defense lawyers noted Weinstein’s declining health, which includes hypertension, diabetes, heart problems and a recent leukemia diagnosis.
• Advocates say the mixed outcome demonstrates persistent obstacles survivors face in prosecuting powerful figures and carries significant implications for the #MeToo movement.
