Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul, is set to face a new trial in New York, where jurors will hear opening statements in his highly anticipated rape retrial. The trial comes nearly five years after Weinstein's initial conviction, which was overturned on appeal due to allegations of juror misconduct. Weinstein, 71, is accused of raping and sexually assaulting multiple women, including actress Annabella Sciorra and former production assistant Mimi Haleyi. As the trial gets underway, prosecutors will seek to rebuild the case against Weinstein, who has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, sparking a fierce debate over the #MeToo movement and its impact on the entertainment industry.
