UK prosecutors drop charges against Harvey Weinstein

In 2022, the prosecutors had authorised two charges of indecent assault against the former Hollywood producer.

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein will not face charges of indecent assault in Britain, prosecutors say.

In June 2022, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it had authorised London’s Metropolitan Police Service to file two charges of indecent assault against Weinstein in relation to an alleged incident that occurred in London in 1996. The accuser was in her 50s at the time of the announcement.

On Thursday, the CPS said it decided to discontinue proceedings because there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction”.
