Harvey Weinstein to be tried for a third time in New York after mistrial on rape charge
New York Judge Curtis Farber said on Wednesday that he wants the trial to take place before the end of this year.
A jury could not render a verdict in June on a rape charge accusing Weinstein of sexually assaulting Mann, a former actor.
The same jury found Weinstein guilty in June of sexually assaulting former 'Project Runway' production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and not guilty of assaulting Polish former runway model Kaja Sokola that same year.
Weinstein will be sentenced for the guilty verdict in Haley's case on September 30, Farber said.
Weinstein, 73, denied all of the charges. Throughout the retrial, his lawyers insisted the sexual encounters with his three accusers were "transactional" and "consensual," and painted the women as opportunists.
Weinstein, who co-founded global film studios Miramax and The Weinstein Company, was originally convicted of rape and criminal sexual act by the same court in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison for the crimes.
The landmark sentencing was seen as a watershed moment for the #MeToo movement, which prompted a global reckoning of sexual harassment and abuse.
Last year, however, New York's highest court overturned the conviction, prompting Weinstein's retrial this summer.
Weinstein was also found guilty by a Los Angeles jury of sexual assault and sentenced to 16 years in state prison, a conviction he is currently appealing.

You Can Now Buy Pamela Anderson's Pickles
is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. While there are countless things we might associate with Pamela Anderson and her career, her latest venture into pickles might, at first, feel unexpected. The former Baywatch actress, animal rights activist, and staunch Jungian just released her own signature gourmet pickles with Flamingo Estate, the Los Angeles lifestyle-estate-turned-brand best known for its herbaceous candles, lush grounds, and $82 fruit snacks. As the Flamingo Estate site explains, 'Pamela's Pickles are both hot and vegan,' developed from a recipe passed down to Anderson from her great-aunt. However, if you've been following the last five years of the multi-hyphenate star's career, Pamela's Pickles actually makes perfect sense as an addition to her already food- and lifestyle-centric media portfolio; Anderson launched a vegan cookbook earlier this year; has two lifestyle television shows under her belt: Pamela's Garden Of Eden (2022) and Pamela's Cooking with Love (2025); and just talked about the sourdough bread and cookies that she enjoyed baking for her The Naked Gun co-star and paramour Liam Neeson during filming. (Personally, I have had my eye on her lifestyle brand potential ever since she shared her cottagecore Malibu beach house on MTV Cribs in 2000, which remains my go-to lucid dreamscape.) But, back to the pickles — how do they taste? Snackers can expect crisp cucumbers in a brine base with mustard, dill, garlic, and rose combined with pink peppercorns, guajillo chiles, and smoky sea salt, and all of the pickles' sale proceeds will go to an Anderson-selected non-profit, the California Wildlife Center. Flamingo Estate has also made a habit out of mastering splashy but understated celebrity collaborations (remember when it nonchalantly made honey in Will Ferrell's yard?). Granted, at $38 a jar, these are some posh pickles. But they do benefit a good cause, and the pleasantly spicy, savory yet slightly floral cukes feels worthy of a main character cheeseboard or tapas moment. I'm thinking: three pickles, a very dirty martini, and an Emmental-stuffed käsekrainer? Quite a way to curate an end of summer charcuterie board. Pamela's Pickles can be purchased at Flamingo Estate.

In the age of Steam censorship, Peak devs bravely go where no Peak has gone before and begrudgingly add requested cannibalism feature: "Fine"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Peak has become even more peak by adding a much-requested feature: cannibalism. After previously announcing, "guys we can't add cannibalism to Peak," developer Aggro Crab has given in. We did it. Yesterday, the official Aggro Crab Twitter account simply posted the word "fine" as a quote tweet to their original cannibalism dismissal. A follow up reports patch 1.10.a adds Polish and Turkish language support – I wonder if they caused the game to crash like French did – bug fixes, and a "secret third thing." Well, we now know that secret third thing is cannibalism, and it's been implemented in a hilarious way. "The new Peak update is wild," reads a tweet from Twitch and YouTube partner Ava Lamp. "If you get too hungry, your friend looks like a cooked turkey, and you can eat them!" I love that the game has gone with the cartoon approach of simply turning one character into food when another gets hungry. It may seem cruel – or funny, depending on who you are as a person – to eat your friend while trying to climb to the top of the mountain. But, since the devs stopped us from being able to claim victory if our dead body makes it over the finish line, it makes sense to offer ourselves up as a sacrifice so that someone else can make it, at least. For a game made quickly to give Aggro Crab its creative spark back, Peak has done phenomenally well, selling over one million copies in the first six days it was out. Now, climb that mountain and eat your friends. Or, check out all the best games of 2025 so far.
