Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer whose scandal in 2017 was pivotal in drawing global attention to the #MeToo movement, will be tried for a third time by New York prosecutors in the sexual assault case of Jessica Mann.

A jury could not render a verdict in June on a rape charge accusing Weinstein of sexually assaulting Mann, a former actor. New York Judge Curtis Farber said that he wants the trial to take place before the end of this year.
