Jessica Mann Speaks Out After Weinstein Mistrial — She Says Justice Still Matters

A complicated legal saga

The case stemmed from an allegation that Weinstein raped Mann in 2013; he has denied that charge. This was the third trial on that count. A 2020 New York conviction that had implicated Mann was later overturned in 2024 because of courtroom testimony rulings. A retrial in 2025 resulted in a conviction related to a different accuser, and juries in the intervening proceedings were split on the Mann count, leading to this most recent mistrial on May 15.

What happens next

Weinstein remains behind bars as he awaits sentencing tied to the 2025 conviction and is separately serving a sentence from a 2022 California conviction. Manhattan prosecutors said they will consult with Mann as they consider whether to seek another trial, emphasizing continued pursuit of sexual-violence cases with a survivor-centered approach.
