Harvey Weinstein faces a third rape trial in NYC amid ongoing #MeToo fallout; once a top film producer, now a convicted sex offender.
Harvey Weinstein's third retrial is underway in New York, focusing on a 2013 rape allegation by Jessica Mann. The jury is being selected, and the trial is expected to last up to four weeks. Weinstein denies all accusations and has shifted legal teams amid ongoing health concerns.
Jessica Mann has returned to the witness stand in Manhattan, testifying for a third time that Harvey Weinstein forced himself on her in a March 2013 hotel encounter. Defense lawyers are cross-examining her about emails, a contemporaneous cellphone note and ongoing friendly messages; Weinstein has denied nonconsensual sex and remains in custody.
The Trump administration has settled all legal proceedings with Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD graduate from Tufts University, allowing her to return to Turkey after a yearlong battle over her revoked US student visa. The visa was canceled due to her co-authorship of a 2024 op-ed critical of Tufts' response to Israel's Gaza war. The settlement acknowledges her lawful status during her US stay.
