"Weinstein, 73, was convicted in June of forcing oral sex on TV and movie production assistant and producer Miriam Haley in 2006. The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 25 years in prison."
"Manhattan Judge Curtis Farber said he could sentence Weinstein on Sept. 30 but only if there's no retrial on a rape charge that the last jury failed to reach a verdict on."
"Prosecutors requested a January trial date, citing witness availability and their own caseload, but the judge proposed having the trial in the fall."
"Mann is on board to testify again, they said. If a fall trial happens, it would likely put Weinstein's high-profile #MeToo case back in court."
Harvey Weinstein's sentencing could occur on September 30, contingent on the outcome of a possible retrial for an unresolved rape charge. He was already convicted of forcing oral sex on a production assistant, facing up to 25 years in prison. A jury acquitted him on another charge, while failing to reach a verdict on a rape charge involving a different victim. Prosecutors are ready for a third trial, proposing a fall date, while the judge expressed concerns over scheduling conflicts with another trial.
