Harvey Weinstein uses a walker as he arrives at the Manhattan Criminal Court, on January 7, 2020 on the second day of his criminal trial on charges of rape and sexual assault in New York City.
Harvey Weinstein will be retried in New York, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said on Wednesday, a week after the state's highest court threw out his 2020 rape conviction.
Weinstein, 72, had been serving a 23-year sentence in a prison in upstate Rome, New York.
The conviction included charges of first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape.
Weinstein was also sentenced to 16 years following his separate rape trial in California.
