Harvey Weinstein Faces Retrial for Sex Crimes as Case Ends in Disarray
- On June 11, 2025, a jury in New York found Harvey Weinstein guilty of a first-degree criminal sexual act for an assault involving his former assistant Mimi Haley in 2006, while acquitting him of a separate sexual assault charge and failing to reach a verdict on a rape accusation.
- This retrial followed the 2024 overturning of Weinstein's original 2020 New York conviction, which was vacated due to improperly admitted testimony from uncharged accusers.
- The case included allegations from Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokola, who accused Weinstein of assaults in 2006, and Jessica Mann, whose 2013 rape allegation led to hung jury deliberations on the third charge.
- Weinstein's defense attorney Arthur Aidala sought a mistrial citing jury intimidation, including alleged threats such as 'I'll meet you outside one day,' amid tensions described by the judge and jurors.
- The partial guilty verdict complicates Weinstein's legal outlook since he remains convicted in California with a 16-year sentence and prosecutors have not yet decided on retrying the unresolved rape charge.
