Jury deliberations begin in Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes retrial
June 5, 2025
Jurors have begun deliberating in Harvey Weinstein’s New York sex crimes retrial, ending the first day without reaching a verdict. The seven-woman, five-man jury went behind closed doors Thursday to decide a case that encapsulated the #MeToo movement. The jury is considering two counts of criminal sex act and one count of rape. The 73-year-old Weinstein has pleaded not guilty. A series of sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning movie producer propelled the #MeToo movement in 2017. He later was convicted of sex crimes in New York and California. But the New York conviction was overturned, leading to the retrial.
