Judge declares a mistrial in Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial after jury says it is deadlocked

NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein ’s rape retrial ended in a mistrial Friday after the jury deadlocked.

While the former Hollywood mogul has been convicted of other sex crimes on two U.S. coasts and remains behind bars, the mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials.

A majority-male Manhattan jury had been weighing whether Weinstein raped Jessica Mann, a hairstylist and actor, in 2013. Weinstein’s lawyers argued that the encounter was consensual. It happened during a fraught relationship between the then-married Weinstein and the decades-younger Mann.
