UK's CPS drops indecent assault charges against Weinstein due to insufficient evidence.

The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has dropped indecent assault charges against Harvey Weinstein, citing "no realistic prospect of conviction." The charges stemmed from a 1996 incident in London. Weinstein, currently serving a 16-year sentence for rape in California, is awaiting retrial on separate charges in New York following the overturning of his 2020 conviction due to trial fairness issues. The CPS encourages reporting of sexual assault cases.
