Harvey Weinstein's legal team is gearing up for a retrial in Manhattan on rape charges after his previous conviction was overturned. Manhattan prosecutors are also considering new charges for additional violent sexual assaults involving other women.

Weinstein's presence at the trial remains uncertain following his emergency heart surgery on Sunday. The 72-year-old has denied any non-consensual sexual encounters and maintains his innocence.

In addition to his legal woes in New York, Weinstein has been found guilty of rape in California, receiving a 16-year sentence. This ongoing legal saga has been a critical chapter in the #MeToo movement, with over 80 women accusing Weinstein of misconduct.
