Harvey Weinstein’s legal journey has once again reached an inconclusive end.
After being tried in New York City for a third time for the 2013 rape of Jessica Mann, Weinstein’s case once again ended in a mistrial on May 15 when the jury couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict, according to multiple outlets.
E! News has reached out to Weinstein’s legal team for comment but has not yet heard back.
In 2017, Mann—an actress and hairstylist—accused Weinstein of raping her in a New York City hotel room. In the years since, his lawyers have alleged the encounter was consensual, while Mann had said she resisted and repeatedly told Weinstein, “No,” during the incident.
Mann first told her story to a jury during Weinstein’s first trial in 2020, at which time the 74-year-old had pleaded not guilty. At the end of the trial, the media mogul was found guilty of third-degree rape and one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree, resulting in a 23-year sentence behind bars.
His conviction was overturned four years later, however, when New York’s highest court determined improper testimony had been allowed at the trial.
