The retrial of Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, has begun in Manhattan amid allegations of sexual assault. Prosecutors have accused Weinstein of using his power to exploit women, ignoring their objections. The charges date back to incidents in 2006 and 2013, with a new allegation added to the list. Weinstein’s defense attorney has denied the accusations, claiming that the encounters were consensual and lacked coercion. The trial is expected to last for five to six weeks. Harvey Weinstein’s legal battles have been closely watched since the #MeToo movement shed light on sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry. The outcome of this retrial will be closely followed by many in India and around the world.
