In a development related to the Harvey Weinstein case, a rape charge against the former Hollywood figure has been dropped by New York prosecutors. This decision comes after the prosecution had attempted to try the case three times prior. The accuser in the case supported the decision to drop the charge.

It is known that this outcome brings an end to one part of a significant prosecution associated with the #MeToo era. Further details about the case and its implications are available from KSAT 12, the local ABC affiliate. The dropped charge does not clear Weinstein's criminal record, according to available information.
