Harvey Weinstein's third New York City rape trial resume Wednesday after prosecutors and the defense delivered opening statements Tuesday.

Prosecutors once again portrayed Harvey Weinstein as a onetime Hollywood power player who used his sway as a tool of sexual assault, repainting a familiar but fraught picture Tuesday at a rape retrial nearly eight years after the former movie tycoon’s arrest.

A frail Harvey Weinstein was wheeled into a New York City courtroom on Tuesday morning to face his fourth rape trial in six years. Weinstein is accused in this case of assaulting Jessica Mann, who has testified at two previous trials that the producer raped her at a Manhattan hotel room in March 2013.

Harvey Weinstein wielded his power like a weapon against a "fragile" woman who claims he raped her 13 years ago, Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday.

Prosecutors in the rape retrial of disgraced US movie mogul Harvey Weinstein told Tuesday how he wielded his power to prey on then-aspiring actress Jessica Mann.

The Hollywood mogul took advantage of Jessica Mann by enticing her with a film role she had no chance of getting, prosecutors say.

Opening statements in Harvey Weinstein’s third Manhattan sex crimes trial are set to begin Tuesday morning — as the disgraced former Miramax perv tries once more to shake off rape allegations from a former actress.
