Active · last development Sep 22, 2026: “Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 15 years in prison for 2006 sex crime in New York”
What this arc covers
Harvey Weinstein's New York sex crimes case after the state's top court, which heard his appeal in February 2024, overturned his 2020 rape conviction that April: the new charges, his health problems in jail, the 2025 retrial that ended in a partial verdict and a mistrial on one count, the 2026 retrial on that count that ended in another mistrial before prosecutors dropped it, the California appeals court's ruling on his conviction there, and his 15-year sentence in September 2026.
