Harvey Weinstein, a former movie mogul, faced charges in New York and California after numerous women accused him of sexual assault. In Los Angeles, a jury convicted Weinstein in 2022 of raping and sexually assaulting an Italian actor and model in 2013. He was acquitted of a 2010 sexual battery charge involving a massage therapist. A mistrial was declared on counts related to two other accusers. In New York, Weinstein was initially convicted in 2020 of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another. However, his conviction was overturned, and a retrial is scheduled. Manhattan prosecutors have brought a new indictment with additional allegations. Weinstein denies all accusations and is appealing. (Photo: AP)
