Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is scheduled to appear in a Manhattan court on Tuesday for his third New York trial. The disgraced movie mogul faces various allegations of rape and sexual assault.
The proceedings center on a rape charge involving a 2013 encounter in a Manhattan hotel. This case has remained unresolved for nearly eight years since Weinstein's arrest, lingering due to a previous overturned conviction followed by a jury deadlock.
A new jury is set to hear opening statements on Tuesday. The movie tycoon will face accusations of raping a woman as the retrial begins.
