Harvey Weinstein is set to face his toughest legal challenge yet – a criminal trial for rape and sexual assault that could send him to
prison for the rest of his life.
Only a handful of women will be allowed to testify at the trial in
New York supreme court in Manhattan, which begins on 6 January. But watching from the sidelines will be scores of women who have alleged sexual misconduct and abuse at the hands of Weinstein.
