The judge at the Los Angeles trial of Harvey Weinstein has dropped four of the 11 sexual assault charges against the movie mogul after prosecutors said they would not proceed with the counts involving one of his accusers.

Superior Court Judge Lisa Lench dismissed two counts of forcible rape and two other counts of sexual assault against the 70-year-old.
