Jury selection may be over, but the real drama is just beginning in the highly anticipated retrial of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. Opening statements are now underway in New York City, where Weinstein is facing charges of rape and predatory sexual assault. This latest chapter in the #MeToo movement marks a significant moment for the dozens of women who have come forward with allegations against Weinstein, accusing him of decades of abuse and exploitation. As prosecutors seek to build a case against the disgraced film producer, defense attorneys will likely argue that the allegations are fabricated and motivated by a desire for fame and fortune.
