Harvey Weinstein found guilty on one charge in New York sex crimes retrial


Weinstein was found guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, but was acquitted of a second charge of sexually assaulting Kaja Sokola

The movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty on one charge of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree by a Manhattan jury, concluding a three-week trial that revived accusations from a successful 2020 prosecution that was overturned on appeal. Prior to the return of the jury, Weinstein addressed the court and urged the judge to declare a mistrial after several jurors reported tensions in the deliberation room. In the now-concluded case, Weinstein was accused of raping Mann, an actor and hairstylist, in 2013; as well as forcing oral sex on Haley, a production assistant and producer, and Sokola, an aspiring actress, both in 2006.
