Harvey Weinstein

Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on one of the key charges in his sex crimes retrial on Wednesday, while he was acquitted on another, and the jury could not reach a decision on a third charge.

This mixed verdict offered some validation to both his accusers and the prosecution — as well as to Weinstein — since the significant case was left in a state of uncertainty.

Weinstein’s original conviction five years prior appeared to solidify the fall of one of Hollywood’s most influential figures at a crucial point for the #MeToo movement.

But that conviction was overturned last year, and the case was sent back for retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse.

This time, a majority-female jury convicted the former studio boss of forcibly subjecting one to a criminal sex act in 2006.

Nonetheless, jurors did remove Weinstein from one criminal sex act accusation from 2006. Additionally, they were continued to deliberate on whether he raped another woman in 2013.

Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a lesser penalty than the first-degree criminal sex act offense.

Weinstein, 73, denies sexually assaulting or raping anyone.
