TL;DR Summary

An appeals panel in California unanimously upheld Harvey Weinstein's 2022 rape and sexual assault conviction but ordered resentencing because the trial judge considered New York convictions as aggravating factors; Weinstein still faces a separate New York sentence for another conviction and remains imprisoned there, with prosecutors seeking about 20 years. The court rejected claims of trial rights violations and rape-shield issues and found that other accuser testimony was properly admitted, moving the case toward a new California sentence once the New York matter is resolved.
