Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was convicted on one count of sexual assault Wednesday, while he was acquitted on another, as jurors continued to deliberate a rape allegation during his retrial, where three women detailed in explicit terms how he assaulted them.
Weinstein faced retrial for crimes against two women, Jessica Mann, whom he allegedly raped, and Miriam Haley, whom he was found to have sexually assaulted, along with new accusations of assaulting former model Kaja Sokola.
He was acquitted of the new accusations during the intense session in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday.
The foreman announced the verdict from the jury, which consisted of seven women and five men: “Guilty.”
He shook his head when asked for a decision regarding the rape charge involving Mann and declared “not guilty” concerning the Sokola count.
Weinstein sat impassively nearby in a wheelchair, dressed in a dark suit, a look he has maintained throughout the six weeks of the trial. However, as he was taken out of the courtroom, the 73-year-old seemed to mumble, “Not true.”
The judge instructed both parties’ legal representatives to refrain from speaking to the media as the jury continued to deliberate on the remaining charge.
Weinstein’s dramatic fall from grace in the Hollywood and entertainment realm began in 2017 when the first allegations against him came to light.
The movement upended the film industry, revealing the widespread exploitation of young women trying to break into the entertainment sector, and igniting a reckoning on how to eliminate the harmful culture.
Over 80 women accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct following the global outrage surrounding men abusing their power.
Weinstein’s initial 2020 conviction and consequent 23-year prison sentence were overturned last year after an appeals court identified irregularities in the presentation of witnesses.
