Harvey Weinstein's Third Rape Trial Ends in Mistrial as Jurors Fail to Reach  Unanimous Verdict

New York, NY — Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial has ended in a mistrial after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Weinstein, the former Hollywood mogul, was charged with raping Jessica Mann in 2013.

This marked the third time Weinstein has faced trial in connection with Mann’s allegations. In 2020, he was convicted of raping Mann and sexually assaulting former Project Runway production assistant Miriam Haley. However, the New York Court of Appeals overturned that conviction in 2024, citing errors by the trial judge that allowed unrelated testimony.

The third trial ended in a similar deadlock, prompting the mistrial ruling on May 15, 2026. Judge Curtis Farber will not sentence Weinstein for the Haley conviction until a final decision is reached regarding the Mann count; Weinstein remains behind bars.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized the office’s commitment to survivor-centered justice. “We will consider our next steps in consultation with Ms. Mann… and continue to prosecute crimes of sexual violence — no matter who the defendant is,” he said.

I deserve justice, which is why I stand up and face unbearable public scrutiny in the name of a greater good — a world where predators are not in power.”

Weinstein has denied all allegations. In 2022, he was convicted in California of rape and sexual assault in a separate case and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
