Harvey Weinstein was convicted Monday on three charges of rape and sexual assault.
But in a split verdict, the jury acquitted him of one other charge and could not reach a unanimous verdict on three other counts.
After acquitting Weinstein of Count 5 — the sexual battery of the massage therapist — the jurors were asked to consider the misdemeanor version of the same offense. The jury split 10-2 in favor of convicting him of the misdemeanor count. The four accusers alleged that Weinstein sexually assaulted them in hotel rooms in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills between 2005 and 2013. Had he been convicted on all charges, Weinstein would have faced as much as 60 years to life.
Weinstein has been held since July 2021 within the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles, after being extradited from New York. He has been confined to a wheelchair and suffers from a wide array of medical issues, including diabetes, sleep apnea, cardiac problems and eye problems.
