Weinstein was found guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, but was acquitted of a second charge of sexually assaulting Kaja Sokola
The movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty on one charge of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree by a Manhattan jury, concluding a three-week trial that revived accusations from a successful 2020 prosecution that was overturned on appeal.
Weinstein was found guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, but was acquitted of a second charge of sexually assaulting Kaja Sokola.
The jury did not reach a unanimous verdict on a charge involving Jessica Mann, who alleges that Weinstein raped her. The judge has advised them to continue deliberations.
The verdict delivered against Weinstein follows two earlier convictions on similar charges, one of which was overturned on appeal. In the first, now-vacated New York case, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison. A second conviction, in California, resulted in a 16-year sentence.
