Harvey Weinstein's Los Angeles conviction and New York retrials

A New York appeals court upheld his 2020 rape conviction in June 2022,^[5] and Britain moved to charge him over assault claims.^[6] His Los Angeles trial began that October,^[7] with Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California's governor, among his accusers.^[8][9] In December the jury convicted him of rape,^[1] and in February 2023 he was sentenced to 16 years.^[2] Prosecutors decided not to retry him on the counts the jury could not decide.^[10]

His New York conviction then fell. New York's highest court agreed to hear his appeal,^[11] and in April 2024 it overturned his 2020 conviction.^[3] Weinstein was hospitalized repeatedly, including for emergency heart surgery,^[12][13] and the British charges were dropped.^[14] In September, a New York grand jury indicted him on additional sex crimes charges, to which he pleaded not guilty.^[15][16]

His New York retrial began in April 2025,^[17] and in June the jury reached a partial verdict before the judge declared a mistrial on the remaining rape charge.^[18][19] A retrial on that charge ended in another mistrial in May 2026,^[20] and prosecutors then dropped it.^[21] An appeals court upheld his California conviction.^[22] In September 2026 he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a 2006 sex crime.^[4]
