The retrial of Harvey Weinstein, whose prosecution and conviction for rape and sex assault ignited the 'MeToo' movement, begins in New York on Tuesday. Weinstein will be in the dock for the sexual assault of former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006, the rape of aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013, and a new count for an alleged sexual assault in 2006. The trial is expected to last up to six weeks and begins with jury selection.
