Harvey Weinstein attends his retrial on rape and sex assault charges at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City, April 15, 2025. Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein faces a retrial starting April 15, on rape and sex assault charges for which a previous verdict was overturned, forcing survivors who helped fire up the "MeToo" movement to testify against him once again. Weinstein's 2017 conviction by a jury was overturned seven years later by an appeals court that ruled the way witnesses were handled in the original New York trial was unlawful.
