The thrown-out charge involves allegations made by one of the three accusers in the case, Lucia Evans, who was among the first women to publicly accuse Weinstein of sexual assault.
Manhattan’s district attorney has decided to drop part of the criminal case against Harvey Weinstein.
Assistant district attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon told the judge that prosecutors would not oppose dismissal of the count in the case involving Evans.
Others said prosecutors had discovered old personal writings by Evans in which she suggested her encounter with Weinstein was consensual.
