A New York City judge has tentatively scheduled the start of former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's retrial on rape and sexual assault charges for November 12. Last week, prosecutors said they anticipated a November retrial and told Farber that they were still actively pursuing new claims against Weinstein.
Harvey Weinstein, 72, has denied wrongdoing and having any nonconsensual sexual encounters with anyone. Jurors in Manhattan found him guilty on rape charges in February 2020, but the New York Court of Appeals threw out the conviction in April.
His conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement. He was convicted of rape in the third degree for an attack on an aspiring actress and forcing himself on a TV and film production assistant in 2006. Prosecutors said one of the accusers in that case, Jessica Mann, is prepared to testify again.
