A court in New York has overturned Harvey Weinstein\u2019s 2020 rape conviction, saying the film mogul did not receive a fair trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a 4 -3 decision on Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals upheld the 72-year-old\u2019s appeal, concluding that the trial \u201cerroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former film producer had been sentenced to 23 years in prison. He will remain in prison in New York as a result of a separate conviction for rape from a court in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allegations against Weinstein were first published by the New York Times and the New Yorker magazine in 2017, with more than 80 women accusing him of sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Weinstein case was a major catalyst for the feminist #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2020 trial centred on two allegations: Weinstein allegedly forced production assistant Mimi Haleyi to perform oral sex on him in 2006 and was accused of raping Jessica Mann, now a hairdresser, in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prosecution relied on a number of additional witnesses who accused Weinstein of sexual assault to show that his offences followed a recurring pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg must now decide whether to initiate a new trial against Weinstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
