The jury had found Weinstein guilty of one count of sexual assault and not guilty of another count on Wednesday, but kept deliberating about a final rape charge.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said after the mistrial was announced that his office plans to retry the rape charge again - meaning a third trial for Weinstein in New York.

Thursday's mistrial came after Weinstein's earlier sex crimes conviction in the state was overturned last year, leading to new charges last September.

The rape charge was brought by actress Jessica Mann, who said in a statement on Thursday that she was prepared to testify again.
