A judge declared a mistrial on the remaining rape charge in Harvey Weinstein's sexual crimes case after the jury foreperson refused to continue deliberating.

This decision followed a partial verdict delivered on Wednesday, where Weinstein was convicted of one charge and acquitted of another, both related to forced sexual abuse in 2006.

The foreperson cited feeling bullied by another juror and refused to return to deliberations. The jury had already reached a unanimous decision on the first two charges but was still deliberating on a third rape accusation from 2013.

The jury in Harvey Weinstein’s case was deadlocked on a third-degree rape charge involving a woman who acknowledged having a consensual relationship with him, a charge that carries a lesser sentence under New York law.

Weinstein denies all allegations. Tensions among jurors began to surface publicly when one requested to be excused over fairness concerns, and the foreperson later reported pressure and inappropriate discussions in the jury room.

Before the partial verdict was revealed, Weinstein protested in court, claiming the trial was unfair due to juror issues and that the judge was "endangering" him.

On Wednesday, the individual addressed his concerns again. During a closed-door meeting with prosecutors, defense counsel, and the judge, the foreperson stated that another juror was shouting at him for sticking to his position and promised, “You going to see me outside.”

"I feel afraid inside there," the foreperson told the judge and attorneys, according to a transcript.

The judge sent the jury home for the day following the partial judgment, but the foreperson subsequently requested to return and reiterated his concerns to Farber in court. The foreperson said he was willing to return on Thursday, and Farber stated that the guy would not be compelled to enter the jury chamber if he did not want to.

Jessica Mann, the third accuser in Harvey Weinstein’s case, is still awaiting a resolution after a mistrial was declared on her rape charge. Mann, a hairstylist and actor, testified extensively, both in this trial and in 2020, about being raped by Weinstein in a Manhattan hotel, and explained why she continued to see him afterward.

“Rape can happen in relationships – and in dynamics where power and manipulation control the narrative,” she said in a statement. Weinstein, who was previously convicted of rape in California, is currently appealing that conviction.
