Harvey Weinstein's retrial on sex crime charges concluded Thursday with a mistrial, as jury disagreements prevented a resolution on a key rape charge, a day after a split verdict on other accusations.

The former movie mogul, who denies the charges, faces the possibility of a third trial in New York, with prosecutors prepared to revisit the unresolved count. Meanwhile, he awaits sentencing for a separate sex assault conviction.

The case underscores the complexities faced by the #MeToo movement, as Weinstein's initial conviction was overturned, prompting the current retrial against the backdrop of heated jury deliberations.
