New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein faced one of his accusers in New York court Wednesday as he was told he would be retried for rape and sexual assault convictions that were overturned in the state. His 2020 conviction for raping ex-actress Jessica Mann, who was in the front row of the courtroom's public gallery and mere feet from Weinstein, was overturned by New York's highest court last week. Weinstein was visibly frail as he was wheeled into the Manhattan courtroom flanked by his lawyers, smiling and waving at supporters as he was pushed in a wheelchair past the public ...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein was due in court in New York on Wednesday for the first time since his convictions in the state were overturned. The hearing, at which a judge is expected to vacate his convictions in the state but not free the 72-year-old because of a separate, unchanged conviction in California, could pave the way for a new trial. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in 2020 of the rape and sexual assault of ex-actress Jessica Mann in 2013, and of forcibly performing oral sex on former production assistant Mimi Haley in 2006. He was sentenced to 23 years in pris...

New York (AFP) - L'ex-producteur hollywoodien Harvey Weinstein a été hospitalisé samedi à son retour à New York après que la cour d'appel de la ville a annulé sa condamnation en 2020 pour viol et agression sexuelle. Cette décision de justice a suscité l'indignation au sein du mouvement #MeToo même si Harvey Weinstein reste incarcéré pour une peine de viol distincte de 16 ans prononcée en Californie. "Le département correctionnel de New York a estimé que M. Weinstein avait besoin d'une attention médicale immédiate", a déclaré à l'AFP son avocat Arthur L Aidala dans un communiqué. "Une myriade d...

Los Angeles (AFP) - A woman who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault said Friday she was not sure she could face testifying again if he is re-tried, after his New York rape conviction was thrown out this week. Mimi Haley said she felt "sick to my stomach" when she heard a court had voided the conviction of the one-time Hollywood power player. "People really don't know what I had to go through and what the other women had to go through," Haley told reporters of Weinstein's 2020 trial. "It's grueling, it's hard... you're living in fear for years... and then you're getting harassed. "Ther...

New York (AFP) - New York's highest court on Thursday overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on sex crime charges, a shock reversal in one of the defining cases of the #MeToo movement. In its 4-3 decision, the Court of Appeals found the trial judge erred in admitting the testimony of additional women who were allegedly abused by Weinstein but who were not named in the charges brought against him, and ordered a new trial. The ruling does not affect a separate 16-year rape sentence handed down in California -- meaning the once-untouchable Hollywood heavyweight...

New York (AFP) - New York's highest court on Thursday overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on sex crime charges, a stunning about-face in the case that launched the #MeToo movement. Here are the key moments in the case: 2017: Scandal erupts - The New York Times publishes a bombshell investigative report featuring numerous on-the-record sexual harassment and assault accusations against Weinstein over a period of nearly three decades.

A court in New York has overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, saying the film mogul did not receive a fair trial. In a 4-3 decision on Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals upheld the 72-year-old's appeal, concluding that the trial "erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes." The former film producer had been sentenced to 23 years in prison. He will remain in prison in New York state as a result of a separate conviction for rape from a court in Los Angeles. Allegations against Wein...

New York (AFP) - New York's highest court on Thursday overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on sex crime charges and ordered a new trial. In their 4-3 decision, judges cited errors in the way the trial had been conducted, including admitting the testimony of women who were not part of the charges against him. "Order reversed and a new trial ordered," the ruling said. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in February 2020 of rape and sexual assault by a court in New York, and later sentenced to 23 years in prison. He was subsequently convicted and sentenced by a Los ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Thursday to 16 more years in prison for the rape of a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel room, increasing the likelihood that the disgraced Hollywood mogul will spend the remainder of his life behind bars. Weinstein was ordered by a Los Angeles court to serve the latest sentence -- for the assault of a European actress a decade ago -- after he has completed his 23-year sentence for another sex crimes conviction in New York. Attending court in a wheelchair, the 70-year-old Oscar-winning "Shakespeare in Love" producer begged the judge for "mercy." "...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Disgraced movie industry tycoon Harvey Weinstein is due to be sentenced Thursday over the rape of a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel room a decade ago. The Academy Award-winning producer, 70, is already serving a 23-year sentence for his separate 2020 conviction in New York for sex crimes. He could face a further 18-year term in California, which would increase the likelihood that the "Shakespeare in Love" mogul will see out the remainder of his life in prison -- though he is appealing in both cases. In December, he was convicted by a Los Angeles jury of forcible rape, forcib...
