Harvey Weinstein's UK Indecent Assault Charges Dropped by Prosecutors

British prosecutors have discontinued indecent assault charges against Harvey Weinstein due to a lack of evidence, citing "no longer a realistic prospect of conviction". The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorized charges related to an alleged assault in London in 1996, but after reviewing the evidence, they decided to discontinue the proceedings. This decision was made independently by the CPS, and the Metropolitan police were not involved in the decision-making process. The CPS encouraged potential victims of sexual assault to come forward and report to the police, stating that they would always support and facilitate such reports.
