An appeals court on Friday upheld Harvey Weinstein's 2022 rape and sexual assault conviction in California, but ordered the trial judge who gave him 16 years in prison to resentence him.

A three-judge panel from California's 2nd District Court of Appeal unanimously issued the decision, saying his trial judge did not violate the former movie magnate's constitutional rights.

“We reject his attempts to disturb the jury’s guilty verdicts,” the judges wrote in their opinion.
