Harvey Weinstein faces another trial as decades-old accusations resurface

Harvey Weinstein is back in court for a new trial related to decades-old sexual-assault allegations. In a NYC retrial, he was convicted of forcing oral sex on Miriam Haley in 2006, acquitted on a similar count involving Kaja Sokola, and the rape charge involving Jessica Mann was left undecided. The Haley conviction carries a potential sentence of up to 25 years, though no sentencing date has been set. Weinstein, 73, has health issues and is appealing his Los Angeles conviction; prosecutors and defense continue to duel over the case’s scope and outcomes.
