Weinstein rape charge dropped after years of court battles and deadlocked trials
TL;DR
Prosecutors in New York dropped the rape charge against Harvey Weinstein after a years-long legal saga that included a 2020 rape conviction for the accuser Mann that was overturned on appeal and retrials that ended in hung juries; the charge was a low-level felony with a maximum four-year sentence, and Weinstein, now 74, has already served time on related counts while continuing to deny the allegations.
