The jury of nine men and three women was sworn in last week in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom to hear the case against Weinstein, now 70.
Weinstein was later charged in April 2020 with sexual battery by restraint involving "Jane Doe 3" in a Beverly Hills hotel room in May 2010. In November 2020, prosecutors added six more counts -- three counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation -- involving two other alleged victims in Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2010.
