Why is successfully prosecuting sexual assault so difficult?

In the local area, a high-profile case has been making its way through the courts. A woman, Jessica Mann, alleged that she was raped by Harvey Weinstein in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013. She first took the stand six years ago to detail her allegations. The case has seen multiple trials, with varying outcomes. Initially, Weinstein was convicted of raping Mann and committing a criminal sex act. However, the New York Court of Appeals later overturned these convictions. Further details on the case and its developments are available from local news sources, including the outcome of a third trial focused on Mann's rape accusation.
