NEW YORK (Reuters) -The judge overseeing Harvey Weinstein's criminal trial in Manhattan on Thursday declared a mistrial on a third-degree rape charge against the former Hollywood movie mogul, after one of the jurors refused to continue deliberations.

Weinstein had been found guilty on Wednesday on a separate sex abuse charge, on the fifth day of jury deliberations.
