UK Drops Two Weinstein Indecent Assault Charges
News summary

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has discontinued two indecent assault charges against Harvey Weinstein, citing 'no realistic prospect of conviction' after a review of the evidence. The charges were related to an alleged incident in London in 1996 involving a woman now in her 50s. This decision has been communicated to all involved parties, and the CPS emphasized its commitment to prosecuting cases where the legal test is met. Weinstein, who denies all allegations, is currently serving a 23-year sentence in New York and awaits a retrial after his 2020 conviction was overturned. He also faces a 16-year sentence in California for a separate rape conviction. The CPS encourages victims of sexual assault to come forward and report incidents to the police.
