- Harvey Weinstein’s California rape conviction upheld, but court says he must be resentenced
Harvey Weinstein's 2022 California rape and sexual assault conviction was upheld by an appeals court, but his 16-year sentence was overturned for resentencing due to the trial judge's reliance on New York convictions later invalidated. The court rejected Weinstein's claims of trial unfairness, while prosecutors in New York dropped a case against him after an accuser declined to testify.
