The judge at the Los Angeles trial of Harvey Weinstein dropped four of the 11 sexual assault charges against the movie mogul Tuesday after prosecutors said they would not proceed with the counts involving one of his accusers.
The remaining charges against the disgraced movie mogul, who is serving a 23-year sentence for a conviction in New York, are two counts of rape and five other sexual crime counts.
Prosecutors said they were not proceeding with the counts involving one accuser, a move that seemed likely when the accuser was left out of opening statements.
