Jurors are hearing opening statements in the LA criminal trial of former film producer Harvey Weinstein on sex-related charges involving five women.
Weinstein was extradited from New York, where he was convicted of raping an aspiring actress and of a criminal sex act against a former production assistant. The state's highest court has since agreed to hear his appeal involving that case.
Superior Court Judge Lisa Lench -- who described the charges as"essentially sexual assaults or assaults of a sexual nature" -- told prospective jurors that the trial is expected to last about two months, including the jury selection process, which began Oct. 10.
