Harvey Weinstein's third trial in New York on charges of rape and sexual assault ended in a mistrial on Friday, May 15, 2026, after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the charge that he raped an aspiring actress in 2010.
The jury, which had been deliberating for several days, informed the court that they were deadlocked on the sole count of rape in the first degree. Judge Curtis Farber declared a mistrial, leaving the Manhattan District Attorney's office to decide whether to retry the case.
Weinstein, 74, is already serving a 16-year sentence in California for a separate rape conviction. He has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
The mistrial marks the latest legal twist in the long-running case against the former Hollywood producer, whose downfall helped spark the #MeToo movement.
