State prosecutors are once again trying Harvey Weinstein for sex crimes in New York. Whatever the jury decides, the film mogul will likely never be free from prison again, but the stakes of the case are still incredibly high.
Weinstein faces three sex crimes counts — two are the same as in the initial New York trial, while one is a new charge. The criminal counts stem from alleged encounters with three women: production assistant Miriam Haley, aspiring actress Jessica Mann, and former model Kaja Sokola, who accused him of assault. He has pleaded not guilty. It was similar claims against the former film mogul that helped kick off the #MeToo movement, where sexual assault accusers spoke out against their alleged attackers.
