US: Weinstein convicted on 2 sex crimes charges
WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 24: A New York jury found disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein guilty on Monday of two of the five charges against him stemming from allegations brought by two women in a landmark moment for the #MeToo movement.
Weinstein was convicted of third-degree rape and committing a first-degree criminal sexual act.
The first offense stems from a sexual assault in 2013, while the sex act charge stemmed from Weinstein's sexual assault of former production assistant Mimi Haleyi at his New York apartment in 2006.
Mimi Haleyi, a production assistant, accused Weinstein of forcing her to perform a sex act on her in his Manhattan apartment while a second, unidentified, woman accuses Weinstein of rape in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013.
The jury handed down their verdict after deliberating for five days.
Weinstein now faces up to 25 years in prison, and has been ordered to report immediately to prison, according to multiple reports. His sentencing has been scheduled for March 11.
"This is the new landscape for survivors of sexual assault in America, I believe, and this is a new day," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance told reporters. "Harvey Weinstein has finally been held accountable for crimes he committed. The women who came forward courageously and at great risk made that happen."
