Earlier on Monday, a jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty of criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree
Weinstein’s representative had no comment when contacted by PEOPLE.
The incident happened after a New York City jury found Weinstein, 67, guilty of a criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree and he was remanded to jail until sentencing.In a statement to PEOPLE, Weinstein’s lawyers, Rotunno and Damon Cheronis, said, “While he was not convicted on the most serious charges, we are disappointed in the verdict and will be filing an appeal. There are issues in this trial that were extremely troubling, and they prejudiced Mr.
“…In the meantime, we are working on assuring that Mr. Weinstein is brought to Rikers’ Island ‘s North infirmary unit at the Anna M Kross center complex or in protective custody so that he can get the best medical supervision and care possible.
“I was dismayed to see all the press coverage incorrectly stating that Mr. Weinstein was trying to garner sympathy at his court appearance last week,” Rotunno said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. “Mr. Weinstein was in a serious car accident in August, which resulted in a concussion and has now necessitated the need for back surgery later this week. He has been using a walker to assist him as the back pain has increased. He wanted to leave the walker in the car, so it did not appear that he was looking for sympathy, as he is not. The press surrounding his physical condition is mean spirited and false.
