He denies the allegation, and his lawyers said the encounter was part of a consensual, yearslong relationship. Mann testified<\/a> that in the early months of that relationship, Weinstein raped her after cornering her in a Manhattan hotel room, grabbing her arms and ignoring her repeated pleas not to have sex.<\/p>\n

Dismissal doesn’t affect Weinstein’s convictions<\/p>\n

Mann’s allegation was one of a number of criminal charges that evolved from a 2017 deluge of sexual misconduct allegations<\/a> against Weinstein, an Oscar-winning producer who had huge sway in Hollywood. The accusations propelled the #MeToo movement<\/a> against sexual assault and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Weinstein was convicted of some charges and acquitted of others at trials in New York and California. The dismissal of the Mann-related case doesn’t affect his convictions, which involved other women. <\/p>\n

Weinstein is facing sentencing in other case<\/p>\n

Weinstein, who has said<\/a> he \u201cnever assaulted anyone,\u201d is challenging his convictions. He was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting an Italian actor-model in Los Angeles<\/a> and sexually assaulting Miriam Haley<\/a>, a production assistant and producer, in New York.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted, unless they choose to make their names public, as Mann and Haley have done.<\/p>\n

Weinstein, 74, is facing sentencing in September on the conviction tied to Haley \u2014 a verdict reached in at a 2025 retrial<\/a> after an appeals court reversed an earlier conviction. Haley testified that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her after inviting her to stop by his Manhattan apartment before a flight in July 2006. <\/p>\n

Prosecutors are seeking a 20-year sentence for that conviction. Weinstein’s lawyers say they haven’t yet decided what sentence they will seek.<\/p>\n

After whatever punishment Weinstein gets in New York, he faces a 16-year sentence<\/a> in California. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He denies the allegation, and his lawyers said the encounter was part of a consensual, yearslong relationship.
