Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty of Rape in Los Angeles Trial

Jailed Ex-Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein, found guilty of rape, sexual assault in Los Angeles Trial.

Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of rape and two counts of sexual assault against an Italian actress and model known as Jane Doe 1, by a jury in Los Angeles, says Aljazeera.

The 70-year old was charged with raping and sexually assaulting two women and committing sexual battery against two others. The report says the jury could not reach a verdict in the cases of three other accusers.

Weinstein who is already serving a 23-year prison sentence will now face up to 24-years in prison when he is sentenced. “Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013 and I will never get that back,” said Jane Doe 1 in a statement.

“The criminal trial was brutal and Weinstein’s lawyers put me through hell on the witness stand, but I knew I had to see this through to the end, and I did. I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime.”
