The downfall of the former movie magnate played out over a six-week trial that included testimony from Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

She said she expected the reaction of the women who testified in Los Angeles will be the same. Weinstein’s defense argued that two accusers had made up the testimony, and that the others had engaged in consensual, transactional sex that they were trying to retroactively label as assault. Fegan criticized Weinstein’s defense for highlighting the continued professional emails correspondence and other professional interactions Siebel Newsom had had with Weinstein after the alleged rape, arguing that their defense suggested that “a woman who is assaulted must forego her chosen career or be accused of consent after the fact”. “We just want him to stay in prison so he can’t do this to anyone else.” She pointed to patterns in testimony from the women who described Weinstein approaching and attacking them in similar ways. The rape trial of That ’70s Show actor The jury’s inability to reach a verdict on three of the seven criminal charges Weinstein faced, involving two different alleged victims, followed weeks of graphic, emotional testimony from a total of eight women who testified that Weinstein raped or sexually assaulted them at hotels around the world, many of them during what they thought would be networking meetings about opportunities in the film industry.

Harvey Weinstein found guilty on 3 of 7 charges in Los Angeles (NPR)

Weinstein's legal trouble is far from over. In London, he faces criminal charges of indecent assault of a woman in 1996.

"Harvey is grateful for the jury's work on the other counts, and he's determined to continue his legal challenges in ultimately proving his innocence." "In Hollywood, sex was a commodity," Weinstein's attorney, Mark Werksman told the jury, saying Weinstein's actions were part of a "casting couch culture." In 2015, she filed a police report that spurred sex crimes prosecutors to investigate Weinstein. Harvey Weinstein is a serial predator and what he did was rape. That movement has exposed sexual misconduct by very powerful men in business, politics and entertainment. To all survivors out there — I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you." Harvey Weinstein, once one of the most powerful men in Hollywood whose many sex crimes helped ignite the #metoo movement, was convicted of 3 of 7 charges in his second sex crimes trial, this time in Los Angeles. "Throughout the trial, Weinstein's lawyers used sexism, misogyny, and bullying tactics to intimidate, demean, and ridicule us survivors. Newsom testified that Weinstein invited her to meet to discuss her career at a hotel in Beverly Hills. For more than a month in court, eight former models and actors vividly described Weinstein attacking them in various hotel rooms. She graphically described how he shoved her onto a bed and raped her. The 70-year-old is already serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault in New York.

Harvey Weinstein Jury Deadlocks on Harsh Sentencing Factors (Variety)

The jury in the Harvey Weinstein trial deadlocked on two sentencing factors that could have led to a longer prison term.

The Los Angeles jury acquitted Weinstein of one count and could not reach a verdict on three other counts. She had to decide on the fly how she was going to react.” The prosecution asked the jury to approve two factors: that the victim was “particularly vulnerable” and that Weinstein had planned the assault. 1, a jury must approve “aggravating factors” in order for the judge to sentence him to the maximum term — eight years — on each count. Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson argued Tuesday morning that she was particularly vulnerable because she was thousands of miles from her home in Italy, spoke limited English, and had “very little support structure” in the U.S. Because the jurors could not reach a unanimous decision on those factors, Weinstein will face no more than 18 years in prison on the L.A.
