A judge in New York has declared a mistrial in the retrial of former film producer Harvey Weinstein on rape charges. The decision came after the jury said they could not agree on a verdict, even after several days of talks. This is a setback for prosecutors, who have tried for years to get a result in this high-profile case.

The case focused on an incident from 2013, where Weinstein was accused of assaulting a woman in a Manhattan hotel. This is the third time these charges have gone to court in New York.

Weinstein remains in prison because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022. Prosecutors must now decide whether to try the case again or drop the charges. A court hearing will be held next month to discuss the next steps.
