An appeals court in New York has given the go-ahead for the case to be presented to the court again next year.

Then you can either support the conviction or cancel it.

It could also be concluded that the trial should be repeated or the verdict partially changed.

- We hope that the court will see that Mr. Weinstein did not receive a fair trial and overturn his conviction, says Weinstein's lawyer Arthur Aidala.

Weinstein's lawyers have argued that several errors were made in the first trial and that the jury that convicted him was not impartial.

Weinstein has always maintained his innocence, says Aidala.

The allegations against Harvey Weinstein surfaced in October 2017 and became the starting point for the metoo movement.

In total, nearly 90 women have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and, in some cases, rape.

Additional charges await Weinstein in Los Angeles and London.
