California appeals court upholds Weinstein’s rape conviction but says he must be resentenced

In California, Weinstein was convicted in December 2022 of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 16 years in prison

Harvey Weinstein’s 2022 rape and sexual assault conviction was upheld Friday by a California appeals court, but the three-judge panel said the former movie executive must be resentenced.

The unanimous decision came a day after prosecutors in New York decided Weinstein would not face a fourth trial there, dropping the #MeToo-era case on Thursday after the accuser said she could not bear to testify again.
