Harvey Weinstein's defense has rested in his NYC rape retrial, with closing arguments underway before a jury deliberates on charges that could result in a life sentence if convicted. The case involves allegations from multiple women, with Weinstein denying all charges, and the trial is influenced by his health issues and previous convictions.
Actor Danny Masterson is set to be retried in a Los Angeles court for allegedly raping three women between 2001 and 2003. Masterson is a prominent member of the Church of Scientology, and all three of his accusers are former members who grew disillusioned with the institution in the aftermath of their alleged assaults. The retrial will feature expert testimony on Scientology, which was denied in the first trial. Masterson could face 45 years in prison if convicted.
