He faces one rape count, two criminal sexual act counts

Former Hollywood mogul has pleaded not guilty

NEW YORK, April 16 — Jury selection began yesterday in Harvey Weinstein’s new trial on rape and sexual assault charges in Manhattan, a year after a state appeals court overturned the former movie mogul’s 2020 conviction. Weinstein, 73, faces one rape count and two criminal sexual act counts in the jury trial, with Superior Court justice Curtis Farber presiding. Weinstein, who co-founded the Miramax studio and was once one of Hollywood’s most influential producers, has pleaded not guilty and has denied ever assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex.
