The former producer was once an Oscar-winning industry power player, but became a pariah after a scandal surrounding his inappropriate and illegal sexual behavior redefined the pervasive nature of misconduct in Hollywood.

Former film producer Harvey Weinstein appears for his retrial at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 21, 2025, in New York City. Weinstein faces a retrial on rape and sex assault charges for which a previous verdict was overturned, forcing survivors to testify against him once again. Weinstein's 2020 conviction by a jury was overturned four years later by an appeals court that ruled the way witnesses were handled in the original New York trial was unlawful.

Harvey Weinstein appears in Manhattan court in New York City on July 19, 2024. The formerly powerful movie mogul was convicted of two sex crimes (criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree) after a historic weekslong trial featuring graphic testimony from six tearful accusers. He escaped two charges of predatory sexual assault and one charge of rape in the first degree, which spared him the possibility of a sentence that included life in prison. A narrow New York appeals court decision in 2024 found that the judge in Weinstein's 2020 case erred by admitting "irrelevant" testimony from women whose allegations were not a part of the case.
