Harvey Weinstein's Rape Conviction in New York Overturned

Harvey Weinstein's Rape Conviction in New York Overturned. Harvey Weinstein's 2020 sex crimes conviction in New York was thrown out. The highest court in New York ruled that the trial judge made a mistake in allowing testimony that included "uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts." It's not expected Weinstein will be set free immediately from the prison in Rome, New York, where he is incarcerated. He was sentenced to 16 years in California for a separate rape conviction. However, that case is also being appealed on the same grounds as New York.
