Jury selection has begun in Harvey Weinstein's new trial on rape and sexual assault charges in Manhattan. The trial is expected to last roughly six weeks, with Weinstein facing one rape count and two criminal sexual act counts. Weinstein, who co-founded Miramax, has pleaded not guilty and denied ever assaulting anyone. His 2020 conviction was overturned, leading to the new trial. Weinstein's past includes allegations of sexual misconduct by over 100 women, which were a focal point of the #MeToo movement.
