• A mistrial was declared in Harvey Weinstein's third New York trial due to a deadlocked jury.
• The trial centered on accusations from actress Jessica Mann, who claimed Weinstein raped her in 2013.
• Weinstein has faced multiple sexual misconduct accusations and is incarcerated on previous convictions.
• This marks the second time a New York jury has been unable to reach a verdict on the same charges against him.

A mistrial was declared in Harvey Weinstein's third New York trial as jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on charges accusing him of raping actress Jessica Mann in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013. The jury deliberated for three days before Justice Curtis Farber informed that they were "hopelessly deadlocked," leading to the mistrial declaration. This case marks the third time the New York judicial system has considered allegations against the former Hollywood mogul, who remains imprisoned for prior convictions, according to BBC, South China Morning Post, and Reuters.

The central issue in this trial involved allegations from Mann, who testified that Weinstein raped her while she repeatedly said "no" during a consensual relationship that had later soured. Weinstein has consistently denied the charges, claiming that Mann fabricated her accusations after their relationship failed to benefit her acting career. His defense argued that the relationship had been consensual, according to NPR, South China Morning Post, and Reuters.

This trial follows previous legal battles for Weinstein, including a conviction in 2020 for rape and sexual assault, which was later overturned by the state’s highest court, and a subsequent conviction in 2025 for sexually abusing another woman. Additionally, he faces a 16-year sentence from a separate conviction in California. Weinstein's defense has indicated an intention to appeal all convictions, as he battles health issues while incarcerated, according to BBC, South China Morning Post, and Reuters.
