Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was found guilty by a jury on Monday of criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree.
The Manhattan jury found Weinstein not guilty of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault, which is punishable by up to life in prison.
The jury of seven men and five women deliberated for five days over the charges, which were brought by two women, who both testified in the case. Four other women testified that Weinstein had sexually assaulted them in order to establish a pattern of behavior.
