NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 New York prosecutors have dropped a rape charge against Harvey Weinstein instead of trying it a fourth time. His accuser supported Thursday’s decision, which puts an end to one piece of a landmark #MeToo-era prosecution.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t clear the former Hollywood honcho’s criminal record. The 74-year-old has been convicted of other sex crimes in two states and is still behind bars while he appeals those verdicts.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know about the case:<\/p>\n

Charge dropped when accuser said she couldn’t endure another trial<\/p>\n

Jessica Mann, the hairstylist and actor who accused Weinstein of raping her in a New York hotel room in 2013, told the court in a letter that she \u201ccould no longer endure going through this.\u201d<\/p>\n

She had given extensive, emotional testimony at three trials. One produced a conviction that later got overturned for reasons unrelated to her testimony. Then two retrials ended in hung juries.<\/p>\n

Mann, 40, said in her letter that she \u201cgave my all\u201d in the case, it \u201cput me through more harm than good\u201d and she wanted to close this chapter of her life.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said they believed Mann and were confident in the case, but they would drop it because of her wishes and Weinstein’s other convictions.<\/p>\n

Weinstein’s lawyers said the charge should never have been brought in the first place.<\/p>\n

He denies the allegation, and his lawyers said the encounter was part of a consensual, yearslong relationship. Mann testified that in the early months of that relationship, Weinstein raped her after cornering her in a Manhattan hotel room, grabbing her arms and ignoring her repeated pleas not to have sex.<\/p>\n

Dismissal doesn’t affect Weinstein’s convictions<\/p>\n

Mann’s allegation was one of a number of criminal charges that evolved from a 2017 deluge of sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein, an Oscar-winning producer who had huge sway in Hollywood. The accusations propelled the #MeToo movement against sexual assault and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Weinstein was convicted of some charges and acquitted of others at trials in New York and California. The dismissal of the Mann-related case doesn’t affect his convictions, which involved other women.<\/p>\n

Weinstein is facing sentencing in other case<\/p>\n

Weinstein, who has said he \u201cnever assaulted anyone,\u201d is challenging his convictions. He was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting an Italian actor-model in Los Angeles and sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, a production assistant and producer, in New York.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted, unless they choose to make their names public, as Mann and Haley have done.<\/p>\n

Weinstein, 74, is facing sentencing in September on the conviction tied to Haley \u2014 a verdict reached in at a 2025 retrial after an appeals court reversed an earlier conviction. Haley testified that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her after inviting her to stop by his Manhattan apartment before a flight in July 2006.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors are seeking a 20-year sentence for that conviction. Weinstein’s lawyers say they haven’t yet decided what sentence they will seek.<\/p>\n

After whatever punishment Weinstein gets in New York, he faces a 16-year sentence in California.<\/p>\n
