Weinstein Faces April 14 New York Retrial on Deadlocked Rape Charge

The case revisits Jessica Mann’s allegation following a split 2025 verdict.

Overview

  • Judge Curtis Farber set jury selection for April 14 in Manhattan to try the lone unresolved rape count.
  • The new trial centers on actress Jessica Mann’s claim she was raped in 2013, a charge a 2025 jury could not decide.
  • In the 2025 retrial, jurors convicted Weinstein of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley and acquitted him on charges involving Kaja Sokola.
  • Weinstein has revamped his legal team, adding attorneys who have represented Sean “Diddy” Combs and homicide defendant Luigi Mangione.
  • He remains incarcerated on a separate 16-year California sentence that is under appeal, and his spokesperson asserts the Mann encounter was consensual.
