Harvey Weinstein’s 2nd Sexual Assault Trial Ends as Jury Reaches Verdict
20.12.2022 - 03:45 / usmagazine.com
Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on three charges of rape and assault after his second sexual assault trial, a jury determined on Monday, December 19.
The disgraced producer, 70, faced two counts of forcible rape and five counts of sexual assault related to accusations from four women during the Los Angeles trial. After being convicted on three charges, he was acquitted on one count of sexual battery against Jane Doe 3. The jury was hung on three counts pertaining to Jane Doe 2 and Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The filmmaker, who is married to California Governor Gavin Newsom, was among the accusers, claiming Weinstein raped her in a hotel room in 2005.
Weinstein pleaded not guilty to all seven charges. He initially faced 11 charges, but four counts connected were dropped after one anonymous accuser did not testify. The jury deliberated for 10 days before announcing the verdict on Monday. Their deliberations lasted for 41 hours, in contrast to the New York City jury in Weinstein’s 2020 case, which announced a verdict after 26 hours in February 2020.
Previously, a New York jury found Weinstein — who is currently serving 23 years in prison in the Empire State — guilty of criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree. He was acquitted on the most serious count of predatory sexual assault, which could have resulted in a life sentence.
Weinstein was charged with raping actress Jessica Mann in a New York City hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. He did not testify during the trial, but pleaded not guilty and has long maintained that the encounters were consensual.
In March 2020, he was sentenced to 23 years in prison after the initial #MeToo
