Harvey Weinstein rape charge ends in mistrial after juror was ‘threatened' and refused to return to deliberation room
Weinstein and his team had urged for the trial to be halted after a juror alerted the judge about an issue in the deliberation room COURT CHAOS Harvey Weinstein rape charge ends in mistrial after juror was 'threatened' and refused to return to deliberation room Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE judge has declared a mistrial on the final charge in Harvey Weinstein's retrial. The shocking ruling comes a day after a 12-person jury convicted the disgraced movie producer, 73, of one of the two criminal sexual assault counts he was facing and acquitted him of the other. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Harvey Weinstein pictured in Manhattan Criminal Court during his rape and sexual assault retrial on Wednesday Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Jurors were expected to reconvene on Thursday to continue deliberating the rape charge, which they were deadlocked on. Actress Jessica Mann accused Weinstein of raping her in 2013, at the time when she was trying to build her career as a actress. However, the jury foreperson refused to return to the jury room, saying he faced threats from other jurors. On Wednesday, the jury reached a guilty verdict on a single count of criminal sexual act in connection to actress Mimi Haley's allegations against Weinstein. An emotional Haley testified that the "unthinkable" happened when Weinstein sexually assaulted her in July 2006. But jurors acquitted Weinstein of engaging in a criminal sex act with model Kaja Sokola, who accused the disgraced Miramax founder of forcing oral sex on her in 2006 when she was just 16 years old.
