TL;DR

Manhattan prosecutors will not retry Harvey Weinstein on the third‑degree rape charge tied to Jessica Mann after Mann declined to testify again, following a mistrial and a deadlocked jury in the latest proceedings. The dismissal aligns with a survivor‑centered approach and Mann’s wish not to pursue further litigation, while Weinstein remains imprisoned for a separate California conviction; Mann, in a statement, described enduring years of legal battles and referred to Weinstein as 'Jack the Rapist.'
