New York’s highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction after it found that the judge prejudiced him with improper rulings - but he will remain in prison as he is serving time for another conviction

The court found the judge at the trial "prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with improper rulings", including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren't part of the case, Sky News reports.Read more:Princess Beatrice’s ex-boyfriend Paolo Liuzzo dies of suspected drug overdose
