NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Opening statements are set for Tuesday in Harvey Weinstein<\/a> ‘s third trial on a New York rape charge.<\/p>\n Four days of jury selection<\/a> wrapped up Friday in the case against the former Hollywood powerbroker turned #MeToo pariah<\/a>. A jury of seven men and five women will be tasked with deciding whether he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2013.<\/p>\n Weinstein has pleaded not guilty. The trial is expected to take up to four weeks.<\/p>\n At 73, the Oscar-winning former movie producer has spent much of the last decade fighting sexual assault cases in New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n He was convicted in both cities, but his initial 2020 New York conviction<\/a> was overturned<\/a>. Then jurors at a retrial last year deadlocked on the rape charge<\/a>, while reaching a mixed verdict<\/a> on sexual assault charges pertaining to two other women.<\/p>\n Weinstein denies all the allegations and has appealed his various convictions. He has been behind bars for six years to date.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
