Weinstein’s Third NYC Rape Trial Set for April 14 With New Defense Team

The proceeding centers on the lone Jessica Mann third-degree rape count left unresolved after jurors deadlocked in last year’s retrial.

Overview

  • Manhattan Justice Curtis Farber scheduled jury selection to begin April 14 in State Supreme Court.
  • The retrial addresses a single 2013 allegation by Jessica Mann after the jury in June 2025 could not reach a verdict on that count.
  • Harvey Weinstein substituted in Jacob Kaplan, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos as his lead lawyers, while Arthur Aidala remains on for appeals.
  • In the 2025 retrial, jurors convicted him of a criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley and acquitted him in the Kaja Sokola case, leaving Mann’s charge unresolved.
  • The pending charge is a Class E felony with a maximum four-year term; Weinstein appeared in court in a wheelchair and remains held at Rikers, with a March 19 hearing to handle pretrial issues.
