What happened
New York prosecutors dropped an unresolved third-degree rape charge against Harvey Weinstein rather than try the former movie mogul for a fourth time. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the decision spared accuser Jessica Mann from testifying again after she had appeared before two grand juries and three trial juries; Mann said she could not endure another trial. The charge had remained unsettled after Weinstein’s original New York conviction was overturned and subsequent juries deadlocked, including a mistrial in May. Weinstein still remains behind bars with other convictions intact, including a separate New York sexual felony and California convictions.
