Closing arguments set to begin in Harvey Weinstein's trial in NYC
Briefly

Harvey Weinstein's retrial is nearing its conclusion, with closing arguments expected shortly. Weinstein, charged with assaulting three women more than a decade ago, has chosen not to testify in his defense. Following an overturned conviction in 2020, the trial has seen two dozen witnesses testify against him. Allegations include forcible sexual acts from 2006 and a specific rape incident involving Jessica Mann in 2013. Prosecutors argue he exploited his power in the industry, while defense lawyers claim the relationships were consensual. Weinstein, already convicted in Los Angeles, maintains his innocence.
