Weinstein was convicted in New York in 2020 of the rape and sexual assault of ex-actress Mann in 2013.
Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein will be retried in New York, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office announced in court on Wednesday, one week after the state’s highest court overturned his 2020 rape conviction.
Weinstein appeared in court before Judge Curtis Farber in a wheelchair and a black suit, over four years since his conviction was celebrated as a landmark for the #MeToo movement, where women accused hundreds of men in entertainment, media, politics, and other sectors of sexual misconduct.
Weinstein, 72, had been serving a 23-year sentence in a prison in upstate Rome, New York. Following last week’s order, he was transferred to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, according to his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer.
