A Manhattan judge declared a mistrial Friday in Harvey Weinstein's rape case after the jury reported it was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, marking the third time the disgraced former Hollywood producer has faced trial on the same rape allegation.

The jury had been deliberating for three days on whether Weinstein raped Jessica Mann, a hairstylist and actor, in a Manhattan hotel in 2013. This was the second mistrial in a year involving Mann's allegations against the 74-year-old Weinstein.

Mann, 40, testified for five days during the nearly three-week trial. She said she willingly engaged in some sexual encounters with Weinstein but that he subjected her to unwanted sex after she repeatedly refused. Mann testified that she continued seeing Weinstein after the alleged assault and expressed warmth toward him, describing complicated feelings about their relationship.

Weinstein's defense attorneys argued the encounter was consensual and emphasized Mann's continued contact with Weinstein following the incident. Weinstein did not testify in his own defense. He faces one count of rape in the third degree.

The current case stems from charges that were part of Weinstein's 2020 New York conviction, which an appeals court overturned. A retrial last year on multiple charges ended in a hung jury on Mann's allegations, leading to this separate retrial focusing solely on her case.

Weinstein remains incarcerated following convictions for other sex crimes in New York and California. He has said he "acted wrongly" but denied assaulting anyone. The mistrial leaves the New York rape charge unresolved after three attempts at prosecution.
