Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is considering a guilty plea to avoid a third rape trial in New York, with a judge setting Mar. 3 as the tentative trial date on Thursday.
Manhattan Judge Curtis Farber instructed Weinstein's attorneys to inform prosecutors within two weeks whether their client intends to enter a guilty plea to third-degree rape charges involving actress Jessica Mann. The charge stems from allegations that Weinstein raped Mann at a Manhattan hotel in March 2013.
