Harvey Weinstein’s Fourth Rape Trial Gets Underway: ‘Power, Control and Manipulation’

Home Film News Apr 21, 2026 12:53pm PT Harvey Weinstein’s Fourth Rape Trial Gets Underway: ‘Power, Control and Manipulation’ By Gene Maddaus, Karla Cote Getty Images A frail Harvey Weinstein was wheeled into a New York City courtroom on Tuesday morning to face his fourth rape trial in six years. Weinstein is accused in this case of assaulting Jessica Mann, who has testified at two previous trials that the producer raped her at a Manhattan hotel room in March 2013. Weinstein was convicted of the third-degree rape of Mann in 2020, but that verdict was overturned by the state’s highest court. At a retrial last summer, jurors found Weinstein guilty of assaulting another victim, Miriam Haley, but deadlocked on the charge relating to Mann, forcing prosecutors to try the charge for a third time.
