The producer accused of rape was acquitted

The appeals court judges believe that Weinstein's trial process was in such a way that he was deprived of a fair trial, and for this reason, the court should be reconvened.

According to the BBC, multiple accusations of rape and sexual abuse against Harvey Weinstein, which were made by some of the most famous women in Hollywood cinema, sparked the #MeToo movement, which spread not only to the United States but also to other parts of the world.

Now the appeals court says that in the trial court, the prosecutors summoned witnesses whose charges were not in the original complaint against Harvey Weinstein, and therefore the defendant was not given a fair trial.

However, pending a new trial, the former Hollywood producer will remain in jail as he is currently incarcerated for a rape conviction in another court in Los Angeles.

Extensive allegations of sexual assault against “Harvey Weinstein” became public since 2017, and by the time of his conviction in 2020, about 80 women have accused the film industry giant of sexual misconduct over several decades, including Uma Truman and Selma. Hyak” two famous Hollywood actors.

Harvey Weinstein is one of the biggest American cinema producers who has achieved many successes.

His films including “The King's Speech” and “Shakespeare in Love” have won several Oscars.
