Weinstein’s Rape Charge May Be Dropped

Harvey Weinstein’s legal saga takes another twist as prosecutors eye dropping a rape charge tied to Jessica Mann’s 2013 allegation—her decision not to testify could end that case. Already facing his fourth New York trial, Weinstein, 74, denies all wrongdoing and calls the charge unwarranted. Mann, who resisted and said no, says testifying has been an “extraordinarily taxing ordeal” and she won’t do it again. Meanwhile, prosecutors still seek a 20-year sentence for the sexual assault of Miriam Haley, part of a complex case where Weinstein’s prior conviction was overturned. Despite this potential drop, Weinstein remains jailed—since his earlier conviction was overturned in a separate case—and over 80 women have accused him of misconduct, all denied by him.
