Weinstein faced one charge of rape in the third degree and two charges of criminal sexual act in the first degree, which is the higher felony charge and carries a maximum prison sentence of 25 years. The rape charge carries a sentence of up to four years.

The judge overseeing Harvey Weinstein's criminal case in Manhattan declared a mistrial on a rape charge on Thursday, one day after the former Hollywood movie mogul was convicted on a separate felony sex abuse charge.

The Harvey Weinstein retrial in New York took another dramatic turn Thursday when the judge declared a mistrial on the remaining rape charge, which the jury had yet to decide. The mistrial comes a day after the jury foreperson said he was threatened by another juror and did not feel safe.
