Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned by New York Appeals Court
Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by a New York appeals court.
The Associated Press reported on Thursday that the court found the judge in Weinstein’s trial, which was a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement, had shown prejudice by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case.

However, Weinstein was acquitted in the Los Angeles trial on charges involving a woman who testified in his New York case.
